The expectation was that the nominee would be deputy Gustavo Gayer; the event attracted hundreds of supporters
The former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) participated this Wednesday (June 19, 2024) in the launch of the pre-candidacy of the former state deputy Fred Rodrigues (DC-GO) to the City Hall of Goiânia (GO). Also present at the event were Gustavo Gayer (PL-GO), federal deputy, and Major Vitor hugo (PSL-GO), pre-candidate for councilor in the capital of Goiás.
Gayer would be Bolsonaro’s candidate in the city, but the former president stated that they reached an agreement and the deputy’s pre-candidacy will be postponed until an opportune moment. According to Bolsonaro, Gayer’s presence is “extremely important” in Congress.
“The most viable candidate for us, at the moment, is a name that has suffered a tremendous injustice. It’s our deputy Fred Rodrigues”declared the former president on top of the electric trio.

The TSE (Superior Electoral Court) revoked the mandate of the former state deputy on December 15, 2023. The action for non-acceptance of the candidacy was presented by the Goiás Regional Electoral Attorney’s Office regarding the rendering of accounts relating to the 2020 election. At the time, Fred ran for Goiânia City Council.
According to Allego (Legislative Assembly of Goiás), the accounts were presented in 2021 after the deadline. Therefore, the electoral accounts were considered as not provided. Fred stated that he had not been notified in the time stipulated by the agency.
