(MDB-CE) —the led the house between 2017 and 2019-held 9 sessions in the pre-carnavalesque period of his first term.

Other former presidents have surpassed the historical average in their second years of office. (MDB-AL) held 12 sessions before the 2014 Carnival, while (PSD-MG) Convened 8 sessions in the same period in 2022.
