National president of , gave internal signals to allies in the party that he could opt for the governor of Rio Grande do Sul, as presidential candidate.
According to two influential figures in the party, Leite has balanced the game since he spoke with Kassab, on Wednesday (25), and the Goiano’s favoritism is no longer so evident.
A leader says that both are now on an equal footing and that the chief is carrying out internal consultations to announce his decision by Tuesday (31), as he promised.
