Eduardo Paes
The PT's Rio de Janeiro state directory unanimously approved support on Saturday (18) for Eduardo Paes (PSD)'s candidacy for state governor and Benedita da Silva (PT) for Senate. The move aims to bolster President Lula's campaign platform in the state, where he lost in 2022. The alliance comes amid a political vacancy in the Rio state government.
