Ricardo Teixeira Re-Elected São Paulo City Council President With 49 Votes

The uncontested vote followed União Brasil pulling Rubinho Nunes’ bid, reinforcing Mayor Ricardo Nunes’ influence.

Overview

  • Teixeira secured 49 votes to lead the chamber in 2026, with five PSOL abstentions and one absence recorded.
  • Mayor Ricardo Nunes coordinated support across parties to back Teixeira and marginalize rival councilor Rubinho Nunes.
  • União Brasil withdrew Rubinho Nunes’ candidacy on December 12, clearing the way for a single slate.
  • The chamber elected a new Mesa Diretora: João Jorge (MDB) as first vice-president, Isac Félix (PL) as second vice-president, Senival Moura (PT) as first secretary, and Gabriel Abreu (Podemos) as second secretary.
  • Sargento Nantes (PP) won the corregedoria by 40–13 over Silvão Leite (União), a result viewed as a setback for ex-president Milton Leite’s influence.
