Former first lady said that “beating the Dark Party is priceless” after Eliana Honain lost to Dr. Lapena (PL) in the 1st round
The former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro celebrated this Sunday night (6.Oct.2024) the defeat of PT member Eliana Honain in the dispute for the Mayor of Araraquara, in São Paulo.
The candidate Dr. Lapena (PL), supported by the former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL), won in the 1st round. Honain came in 2nd place. This is a defeat for the current mayor of the city, Edinho Silva – the most likely to take command of the PT.
On her official Instagram account, Michelle said that “beating the Dark Party is priceless”in reference to the PT (Workers’ Party). The former first lady also said that “the people were freed”.
DEFEAT IN ARARAQUARA
Alongside cities such as Mauá (SP), Diadema (SP), Contagem (MG) and Juiz de Fora (MG), Araraquara is considered by the PT to be one of the important medium-sized cities that are under the command of PT members.
The party intended to increase the number of city halls after the terrible result obtained in 2020, in which it did not win any capital. Now, Araraquara will lose.
Honain was supported by the current mayor of Araraquara and future president of the PT, Edinho Silva.
Considered the president’s preferred name Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) to command the party next year, Edinho was in charge of the city council for 4 terms, having been re-elected twice: from 2001 to 2007 and from 2017 to 2024. Honain was the municipality’s Health Secretary in the 2 periods.
Edinho is one of the PT members closest to Lula. He was one of the coordinators of his 2022 campaign and, since the beginning of the government, has been going to Brasília almost every week. When visiting the capital, he usually meets with the president, always outside the official agenda. He thus became one of the main advisors to the Chief Executive.
The term of the current PT president, Gleisi Hoffmann, ends in the first half of 2025. At the beginning of next year, the party will begin the succession process. According to the party’s internal rules, Gleisi cannot run for office again. The election date has not yet been defined.
