During Jair Bolsonaro presidential campaign, the candidate invited Heleno as his running mate in the election, but his party refused.[1] The general was then invited for Minister of Defence of Bolsonaro's government.[2] However, the nominated minister stepped back and was chosen for the Institutional Security Cabinet.
