Salvador Municipal Chamber presidency contest

Overview

Councilman Alexandre Aleluia (Novo) has built a broad coalition to succeed Carlos Muniz (PSDB) as president of the Salvador Municipal Chamber. Initially, Aleluia secured support from 31 of 43 council members, including representatives from Progressistas, PSDB, Cidadania, PL, DC, PRD, PDT, and Novo. This coalition received endorsements from the PSDB leadership, Republicanos, and PRD benches, with Mayor Bruno Reis stating he would respect the council members' decision.

Following this momentum, the opposition bloc, including members from Podemos, PSD, and MDB, also moved toward supporting Aleluia. To secure this support, Aleluia reportedly addressed demands from opposition leaders, such as Randerson Leal (Podemos). These commitments include strengthening the legislative branch's autonomy from the Salvador City Hall, ensuring council independence, prioritizing council-initiated projects, and guaranteeing proportionality in permanent committee compositions.
