Former Ceará governor Ciro Gomes stated on Saturday (April 25) at a PSDB event in São Paulo that he will decide by mid-May whether to run for Brazil's presidency or the Ceará governorship. He received an invitation from the party's national president, Aécio Neves, but said that if he had any sense, he would not run again. The statement follows a 'profound humiliation' in the 2022 election.
PSDB national president Aécio Neves invited former Ceará governor Ciro Gomes to be the party's presidential candidate. Ciro, leading polls for Ceará governor, said he needs time to consider the idea amid anguish over Brazil's current situation. The announcement came during a press conference at the Chamber of Deputies.
