Political developments in Salvador and Queluz

In Salvador, Mayor Bruno Reis has filed a motion with the Supreme Federal Court (STF) opposing Councilman Carlos Muniz's potential candidacy for the presidency of the Municipal Chamber for the 2027-2028 biennium. Reis argues that Muniz's previous term from 2023 to 2024 should count toward the limit on consecutive terms in office. This legal challenge follows an appeal by the PDT party, which contends that Muniz's previous tenure was a regimental succession rather than a formal reelection, and therefore should not restrict his future eligibility.

In Queluz, São Paulo, City Council President José Fernando Araújo Geribello, known as Fernandinho Geribello, is working to strengthen the local Workers' Party (PT) structure. His efforts focus on reorganizing the party's local presence and increasing engagement with members and community leaders. These political maneuvers are viewed as part of long-term strategic planning for the 2028 electoral cycle.
