18 de abril de 2024Sao Paulo State Governor Jose Serra resigned on Wednesday to run in October’s presidential elections.
In a farewell ceremony, Serra avoided mentioning his candidacy, but said he was ready for a new stage.
Serra, who is being replaced by his deputy, Alberto Goldman, said he considered his government to be “popular,” citing social programs and the generation of 1 million jobs in Sao Paulo.
“I am considered very obsessive, but my big obsession was to serve the interests of my state and my country,” he said.
Serra, who runs for the Social Democrats, is leading pre-election polls, followed closely by the ruling Workers’ Party’s Dilma Rousseff, who also left her post on Wednesday as President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s chief of staff to devote to the election campaign.
Brazilians will go to the polls in October to elect a new president, governors and senators as well as federal, state and district deputies.
The first round of the presidential vote is scheduled for Oct. 3. If no candidate can get an outright victory, a run-off will be held on Oct. 31 between the two leading candidates.
