In most of the 50 runoff contests, candidates occupying the political center emerged victorious. Those who remained strictly within their party\u2019s ideological spectrum were largely defeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The centrist Social Democratic Party (PSD)\u2014formed by dissidents from various parties, led by former S\u00e3o Paulo Mayor Gilberto Kassab\u2014finished the electoral race with the highest number of municipalities, winning 887. PSD claimed victory in 9 out of 10 runoff elections, including in Belo Horizonte and Curitiba, with Fuad Noman and Eduardo Pimentel, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of the number of municipalities, the also centrist Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB) ranked second, re-electing Ricardo Nunes in S\u00e3o Paulo and Sebasti\u00e3o Melo in Porto Alegre, while electing Igor Normando in Bel\u00e9m, totaling 854 municipalities. Regarding governed electorate size, MDB and PSD were nearly tied, with MDB overseeing 27.7 million voters and PSD 27.6 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe election showcased a defined right, a defined left, and a center that\u2019s taking shape,\u201d Mr. Kassab said, identifying Mr. Bolsonaro as the right wing\u2019s leader and Mr. Lula as the leader of the left. Mr. Kassab places his party, the MDB, and Brazil Union at the center, saying that the political landscape for 2026 remains open. \u201cThe issue for the center in Brazil is the lack of major options,\u201d he said. According to Mr. Kassab, Governor Tarc\u00edsio de Freitas (Republicans) of S\u00e3o Paulo is a state leader rather than a national one. The national president of the MDB, Congressman Baleia Rossi, also mentioned to Valor on Thursday that \u201cnothing is decided for 2026\u201d and that \u201ceverything is open.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Bolsonaro\u2019s Liberal Party (PL) won only 6 out of 22 runoff contests. Of the 9 capitals where it competed, it secured victories in just two: Cuiab\u00e1 with Ab\u00edlio Brunini and Aracaju with Em\u00edlia Corr\u00eaa. However, the party achieved significant results in larger country town cities, with its most crucial win in Guarulhos, the largest city in S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s metropolitan area, with Lucas Sanches. Overall, the PL governs 516 municipalities, representing 19 million voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where Mr. Bolsonaro directly confronted governors in runoffs, he lost. This was the case in Goi\u00e2nia, where he campaigned on the day of the election in an attempt to defeat Governor Ronaldo Caiado (Brazil Union). However, the Bolsonaro-backed candidate Fred Rodrigues (PL) lost to Sandro Mabel (Brazil Union).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Bolsonaro also faced setbacks in some capitals where the governor played no significant role in the runoff. In Manaus, he and his family actively campaigned for Capit\u00e3o Alberto Neto (PL), but the winner was incumbent Mayor David Almeida (Avante). In Belo Horizonte, Mr. Bolsonaro and his political group threw their weight behind Bruno Engler, who had led in the first round. Still, Fuad Noman prevailed after a highly aggressive campaign. A newcomer to elections, Mr. Noman secured the runoff with late support from the left, but his victory was primarily attributed to his image as an experienced and mature administrator, in contrast to his opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*By C\u00e9sar Fel\u00edcio \u2014 S\u00e3o Paulo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source Valor International<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/valorinternational.globo.com\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Centrist Social Democratic Party emerges as the big winner, electing 887 mayors; Brazilian Democratic Movement secures 854 10\/28\/2024 This year\u2019s municipal election results have diluted the national polarization between President Lula and former President Jair Bolsonaro.
