According to a survey conducted by the newspaper Folha de São Paulo, Mota voted in line with President Lula’s party in 91% of voting since the beginning of the government. This compatibility is even more impressive when compared to members of the Workers Party itself, such as the deputy Erika Kokaywhich recorded 86% alignment. The survey included votes for bills, resolutions, decrees, provisional measures, amendments to the Constitution, and budgets of 2023 and 2024.
Hugo Mota, a member of the Republican Party, has received significant support from the current mayor since October last year. This support has been crucial for Mota, which now has the back of 18 parties, totaling 495 deputies. To secure his election in the first round, he needs 257 votes. The election is scheduled for February 1st.
