Overview
- President Lula named Guilherme Boulos to lead the Secretaria-Geral da Presidência, creating a vacancy in the Chamber of Deputies.
- First in line on the PSOL/Rede ticket, Ricardo Galvão told G1 he has not been officially contacted and there is no timeline for a decision.
- Galvão is evaluating whether to leave his post as president of CNPq to assume the mandate.
- He noted that a potential return of Minister Sônia Guajajara to Congress could change the order of succession and prevent him from taking the seat.
- A prominent physicist who defended INPE’s deforestation data in a 2019 clash with Jair Bolsonaro, Galvão ran in 2022 with 40,365 votes, and if he declines the seat it could pass to João Paulo Rillo.
