The former mayor of Araraquara (SP) and former Minister Edinho Silva, 60, should be elected president of this Sunday (6) after a dispute marked by internal differences and under the strong intervention of the president.

With a conciliatory discourse and focused on dialogue with political forces outside the left, Edinho will take over the party as members of the Lula, PT government and allies walk in the opposite direction, with attacks on Centrão’s exponents.

Petistas bet on Edinho as a channel for rapprochement with allied parties, noting that he has a good relationship with center-right acronym leaders, such as the presidents of, Senator (PI), and the PSD ,.

The expectation is that it wins in the first round. Also compete in the party’s command the federal deputy Rui Falcão (SP) and the petist leaders Romênio Pereira and Valter Pomar.

According to the PT, they are qualified to vote about 3 million affiliates. The TSE (Superior Electoral Court) reports that just under 1.7 million party -affiliated voters, but the acronym argues that justice records are lagged and incomplete.

The current president of the acronym is the Senator (PE). He took office temporarily after the Federal Deputy (PR) left the post in February to hold the position of Minister of Institutional Relations.

Despite Edinho’s expressive favoritism, the speech that prevails today in the PT is closer than the former mayor’s opponents, who are part of the leftist sectors of the acronym.

In recent weeks, the party has unified around the discourse of poor against rich and open dispute of public debate with pockets and centrão. , as shown the Sheet.

The president’s movement was motivated by the government’s series of defeats by Congress, (Tax on Financial Operations). The evaluation at the executive’s summit is that center and right political forces anticipated the election of 2026, acting to weaken the government now and reduce Lula’s chances to be reelected next year.

For this reading, according to petistas, there would be no choice for the president but to make a direct dispute by voters and encourage allies to propagate ideas that unite at least their most traditional supporters. In practice, Edinho’s most moderate speech was hit by the conflict between petistas and the dominant forces of Congress.

The former mayor says there is no inconsistency. “The government has a position, and this agenda is often contradictory to that of most congressional leaders, but that does not mean interdicting the dialogue and the ability to build unit points. But President Lula does not give up discussing with Brazilian society,” Edinho told the Sheet.

Lula is the undisputed leader of the PT, but still had difficulty unifying his political group within the party-the current CNB (building a new Brazil)-around the former mayor’s name.

The president personally intervened in the dispute, having attended harsh meetings with the CNB wing that resisted the loss of space.

In March, the chief executive left a meeting that took place at Gleisi’s house after challenging participants to present a better name for the function.

The meeting had been called by a petista wing to convince Lula to give up his candidate, but had the opposite effect. The negative reaction to what was considered an ambush to the president strengthened the supporters of Edinho.

At his crusade by the former mayor’s election, Lula worked to weaken opposing groups. The president invited the party treasurer, Gleide Andrade, to accompany him on the trip to the Vatican for the. There, he would have probed her about giving up reelection to that position, since she represented a critical political group to Edinho. There was no success.

Then it was the turn to negotiate with the mayor of Maricá (RJ), Washington Quaquá, who had thrown himself as a candidate. Quaquá removed his name after seams in favor of his son in Rio de Janeiro. When this agreement was sealed in mid -May.

The disputes within the CNB proliferated by the country, being reproduced in the fights by the commands of the state directories. One of Edinho’s first tasks after his likely election will be to reduce divisions within the current, which is majority in the party.

His supporters claim that a rare internal pacification would be important for the acronym to be better able to promote Lula’s reelection candidacy next year.

The position of president of the PT is expected to place the former mayor in a central position in the 2026 election. If the petista tradition is maintained, the leader chosen on Sunday will lead the reelection campaign.

Edinho’s likely victory can also give the Minister of Finance ,. The head of the economic team is in tune with the PT in defending the taxation of the richest sectors of society, but its proposals for the economy have faced the party’s own resistance at other times.

Edinho, in general, agrees with the minister’s measures. Haddad supported the former mayor’s candidacy from the beginning.

Lula began to show allies that he wanted Edinho Silva as president of the PT last year. The former mayor of Araraquara further narrowed his ties with the President of the Republic in 2022, when he was one of the communication coordinators of the presidential campaign.

Lula and Edinho Silva, however, have known each other for a longer time. The victories of the petista in the disputes for the Araraquara City Hall (in 2000, 2004, 2016 and 2020) caught the attention of the President of the Republic. The interior of São Paulo is one of the regions where the PT has the most difficulties.

Edinho was also a councilman, state deputy and minister of the Secretariat of Social Communication in the Government of. In addition, he chaired the PT State Directory in São Paulo.
