For the 2020 Azorean regional election, Pacheco was placed first on the list for Chega and elected to the Assembly.[2][3][4] In the same year, he was appointed chairman and leader of Chega in the Azores after the original leader Carlos Furtado quit the party.[5] In 2022, Pacheco became a vice-president of Chega.[6][7]
