of Arko Advice, Dilma Rous-
seff was elected the first female president of Brazil. She
received 56.05% of valid votes against 43.95% of her adversary, José Serra (PSDB). Dilma’s victory confirms at least four
ABSTENÇÃO
traditions in Brazilian presidential elections.
First: when the president’s popularity is around 40%, he tends
to elect his successor. Lula has an approval rating of around 80%.
Second: whoever leads the polls in August, when the radio
and TV campaigns begin, wins the race. It has been this way since
1989, the first direct election after the return to democracy.
Third: whoever is ahead in the first round, wins the second. In
1989 Collor got 30.57% of valid votes against Lula’s 17.18%. He
won in the second with 53% against 47% of his opponent.
In 2002, Lula had 46.47% in the first round against 23.19%
for Serra. He was elected in the second round with 61.28%. In
2006, vying for reelection, the president had 48.61% in the first

round against 41.64% for Geraldo Alckmin. He was reelected with
60.83%.
Lastly, whoever wins in Minas Gerais wins the presidential
election. In 1989, Collor got 36.1% in Minas (30.5% in the country)
against 23.1% (17.2%) for Lula; in 1994, Fernando Henrique got
64.8% in Minas (54.3% nationally) against 21.9% for Lula (27%); in
1998 FHC got 55.7% in Minas (53.1% nationally) against 28.1% for
Lula (31.7%). In 2002, Lula won with 53% (46.4% nationally) and
Serra got 22.9% (23.2%). This year, Dilma got 58.45% (56.01%)
against 41.55% for Serra (43.99%).
Dilma got more votes than Serra in 16 states. Her biggest advantage was in Amazonas: 80.58% x 19.43%. José Serra got more

Why did Dilma win?
A
combination of social, political, and economic aspects
always gave Dilma Rousseff (PT) the condition of favorite
in the race for presidency.
The confirmation of this trend was due to the obvious reason that she was the candidate of the most popular president in
Brazil’s history. And also, for the simple fact that there was no new
fact that occurred during the campaign that was able to change
the trend of Dilma’s victory.
Socially, Dilma’s election represented the consecration of a
political project that benefited low income population. Economically, Dilma represented the flip side of rising incomes and consumption: companies selling more, larger volume of bank lending
and economic growth. Politically, Dilma represented the “Lulism”
that is - as a political force - a coalition of interests above parties
and ideologies.
The combination of these three vectors resulted in an agenda
that brought together opposite sides and that has not been duly
considered. In particular, by the mainstream media. Politically, the
result of the economic and social changes in Brazil is what politi-
cal scientist Cesar Romero identifies as “a chain of interest.” This
chain united unlikely allies around common interests: economic
development and income distribution, regardless of party or ideology.
Who were the supporters of the agenda? Big business, which
produces and sells. Those who supply material to the large infrastructure works. The financial system that finances and transacts
money. The commerce, which distributes and sells. The consumer
who buys now what he never bought before. The worker, who is
employed and consuming. In other words, it’s a wheel of fortune
driven by the current circumstances and that the majority wants
that to continue.
Clearly, the choice of the agenda of continuity prevailed over
all others. Even when the media and the candidates have offered
alternative agendas. The media tried to sell the agenda of fairness
and democracy. Serra tried to sell the agenda of bigger and better
experience and Marina tried to sell the agenda of the politically
and environmentally correct. It did not work nor should it, on account of factors typical of Brazil.

Victory Speech
“My dear friends from all over Brazil,
It is my great joy to be here. Today I received from millions of
Brazilians the most important mission of my life. This fact is a demonstration of democratic progress for our country: a woman presides over Brazil for the first time. I record here my first appointment
after the election: to honor the Brazilian women, so that this fact, so
far unheard of, becomes a natural event. And it can be repeated and
expanded in businesses, civic institutions, agencies, representative
of our whole society.
Equal opportunities for men and women is an essential principle
of democracy. I would love that fathers and mothers of girls today
would look in their eyes, and tell them: Yes, women can!
My joy is even greater because the presence of a woman president of the Republic came through the sacred way of voting, the
democratic decisions of the voters, the exercise of citizenship. So
here’s another commitment to my country:
Promote democracy in all its dimensions, from the right of opinion and expression to the essential rights of food, employment and
income, decent housing and social peace.
I will ensure unrestricted freedom of press.
I will ensure the widest possible freedom of religion and worship.
I will ensure the continuous and careful observation of human
rights as clearly enshrined in our constitution.
I will safeguard our Constitution, the most important duty of the
Presidency of the Republic.
On this long journey that brought me here I could talk with and
visit all our regions. What gives me hope is the immense capacity
of our people to grab an opportunity, however simple it may be,
and with it build a better world for his family. Our people have an
amazing ability to create and engage. So here I strengthen my core
commitment: to eradicate poverty and create opportunities for all
Brazilians.
I emphasize, however, that this ambitious goal will not be held
by the government. It is a call to the nation, entrepreneurs, churches,
civil entities, universities, the press, mayors and all good people.
We can not rest while there are hungry Brazilians, while there
are families living on the streets, while poor children are abandoned to their fate. The eradication of poverty in the coming years is
therefore a goal that I have, but for which I humbly ask the support
of everyone who can help the country work to overcome the chasm
that still separates us from developed nations.
Brazil is a generous land that always returns double every seed
that is planted with loving hands looking to the future.
My conviction to take the goal of eradicating poverty is not a
theoretical certainty, but the living experience of our government,
in which immense social mobility took place, making possible today
a dream that always seemed impossible.
I recognize that we have a hard job to qualify our economic
development. This new era of prosperity created by the genius of
President Lula and the strength of our people and entrepreneurs
find its moment of greatest potential in a time where the economy
of the great nations is shaken.
In the short term, we cannot count on the strength of the economies of developed regions to fuel our growth. So, our own policies
become even more important, our own market, our own savings and
our own economic decisions.
I am far from saying, however, that we want to close the country to the world.
Quite the contrary, we will continue advocating for the broad
opening of trade relations and the end of protectionism in rich
countries, which prevents poor countries from fully realizing their
potential.
But we must recognize that we have great responsibilities in a
world that still faces the effects of a financial crisis of major proportions and that it makes use of mechanisms, not always appropriate
or balanced, to resume growth.
It is necessary, multilaterally, to establish clearer and more cautious rules for the resumption of funding markets, limiting leverage
and excessive speculation, which increase the volatility of capital
and currencies. We will act firmly in international forums for this
purpose.
We’ll take care of our economy with all responsibility. The Brazilian people will not accept more inflation as a solution for any
imbalances. The Brazilian people do not accept that the government
spend above what is sustainable.
Therefore, we will make every effort to improve the quality of public spending by simplifying and easing the taxes and the
qualification of public services. But we refuse the visions of settings
that apply to social programs, essential services to the population
and the necessary investments.
Yes, we will seek long term development, elevated rates that
are socially and environmentally sustainable. To ensure public savings.
We will ensure meritocracy in civil and public service. I will ensure the improvement of all the mechanisms that release the entrepreneurial capacity of our business and our people. Valuing the
Individual Micro Entrepreneur, to formalize millions of individual or
family businesses, expand the boundaries of modern Supersimples
and build mechanisms for economic perfection, as our government
did in civil construction, electrical sector, recovery law firms, among
others.
Regulatory agencies will have support to act with autonomy and
determination, aimed at promoting innovation, healthy competition
and effectiveness of regulated industries.
We will always clearly present out government plans. We will
always treat with transparency our goals, our results, and our difficulties.
Political Scenarios

But above all I want to reaffirm our commitment to economic
stability and economic rules, signed contracts and established achivements.
We will treat our wealth always thinking long term. So I will
work in Congress to approve the Social Fund of the Pre-Salt. Through it we want to accomplish many of our social goals.
We refuse ephemeral spending that leaves for future generations just debts and despair.
The Social Fund is a mechanism of long-term savings to support
current and future generations. It is the most important outcome of
the new model we have proposed for the operation of the pre-salt,
which reserves to the nation and the people the most important
portion of these resources.
We will definitely not sell our wealth, leaving the people only
crumbs. I committed in this campaign with the qualification of Education and Health Services and also with improving public safety, as
well as with the drug issue that ruin our families.
I reaffirm these commitments. I will appoint ministers and teams of top quality to achieve these goals. But I also will personally
accompany these crucial areas for the development of our people.
The modern view of economic development is one that values
the worker and his family, the citizen and his community, providing
access to education and quality health care. It is one that coexists
with the environment without damaging it and without creating
risks greater than the gains of development itself.
I do not wish to prolong myself in this first address to the country, but I want to reaffirm that all the commitments I assumed, I will
pursue with dedication and love. I said during the campaign that
the most needy, children, youth, people with disabilities, the unemployed worker, the elderly would have all my attention. I reaffirm
that commitment here.
I was elected with a coalition of ten parties and with the support of leaders of several other parties. I join them to build a government where the professional capacity, leadership and willingness
to serve the country will be the key criterion.
I’ll value the professional staff of public administration, regardless of party affiliation.
I also turn to opposition parties and sectors of society who
were not with us in this journey. I extend my hand to them. From my
part there will be no discrimination, privileges or cronyism.
I will be president of all Brazilians, respecting differences of
opinion, beliefs and political orientation. Our country must also improve the quality and conduct of politics. I commit myself, together
with all parties, to political reform that elevates the republican values, advancing with our young democracy.
At the same time, I say clearly that I will value a transparent
government. There will be no compromise with error, misuse and
misguidance. I will be rigid in the public interest at all levels of my
government. The organs of control and supervision will work with
my support, without ever chasing opponents or protecting friends.
I left my thanks to this final part, because I want to highlight
them. First, the people that have given me their support. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to serve my country in its highest
office. I promise to return all the love I received in double.
Special edition
But also respectfully thank those who voted in the first and second round for other candidates. They also are part of democracy’s
celebration.
I thank the party leaders who supported me and commanded
this journey, my advisors, my team and the work of those dedicated
to this hard work. Thanks to Brazilian and foreign press that operates here and every one of its crew of the electoral process.
I do not deny that some information that was divulged made
me sad. But who, like me, fought for democracy and for freedom of
opinion, and many others who are no longer among us, we dedicated all our youth to free speech, we are naturally lovers of freedom.
So I do not bear any grudge.
I said and I repeat that I prefer the noise of the free press to the
silence of dictatorships. Free journalism always helped the country
and is essential to democratic governments, pointing out errors and
providing the necessary reflexion.
I especially thank President Lula. Having the honor of his support, the privilege of working with him, having learned from his
great wisdom, are things that I will keep for all my life. Working all
these years with him gave me the exact dimension of fair ruler and
the passionate leader of his country and its people. The joy I feel for
my victory is mixed with the emotion of his farewell.
I know that a leader like Lula is never far from his people and
every one of us. I will knock on his door many times I’m sure that
I will always find it open. I know the distance of an office has no
significance for a man of such greatness and generosity. The task
to succeed him is difficult and challenging. But I will know how to
honor his legacy. I will know how to consolidate and advance his
work.
I learned from him that when one governs thinking of public
interest and the needy, an immense strength stems from our people. A force that takes the country forward and helps overcome the
biggest challenges.
After the election it is time to work. After the debates, now is
the time of unity. Unity for education, for developing, unity in the
country. Joining me there are newly elected governors, congressmen, senators. Congratulating them, I invite them independent of
color or party, for a determinate action for the future of our country.
With the conviction that the Brazilian nation will be exactly the
size of what, together, we work for together.
Thank you.

The role of the president after the elections

government, seek to give space to govern and consolidate Dilma
as president.
His role should be to counsel in the case of any problem or crisis. He should take the opportunity to travel and enjoy his prestige
abroad, considering, where appropriate, some temporary missions
in the context of international relations.
The third phase should be determined by the initial progress of
the Dilma administration and also by their expectations regarding
the future. Three possibilities, at least, open up: to act to strengthen Dilma in order to get four more years of government, working
to return in 2014, or even engage in the construction of a new
coalition using the municipal elections of 2012 as a test.
In general, the performance of Lula should not follow the lines
adopted by Putin or Kirchner.
“
“
T
his was one of the bigger questions addressed to analysts
at Arko Advice in recent months, especially outside of
Brazil.
From the outside, some questions were formulated with the
former Russian president Vladimir Putin as a paradigm. Others remitted to Nestor Kirchner as an example of action. Neither figure
seems appropriate for Lula after December 31, 2010.
The election of Dilma Rousseff should open a process that
will initially have three periods for Lula: the post‐election and the
commencement of the government; and after.
In the post‐election – from November to Dilma’s swearing in
(01/01/2011) Lula will be completely devoted to farewells, the
conclusion of the issues most relevant to its management and the
assembly of the new government. As responsible for building the
coalition of 11 parties that elected Dilma, he will be the arbiter
of the partisan claims around the ministries. Another mission will
be active participation in the choice of who will join the ministerial elite, namely the Civil House, Institutional Relations, Finance, Planning, Central Bank and Foreign Affairs. The second phase
corresponds to six months after taking office. During this period,
it is expected that Lula may even accompany the progress of the
Dilma will not be a candidate
for Lula’s return in 2014. This
does not exist. If Dilma is
elected, she will have an
extraordinary government
and will be a candidate for
reelection.
President Lula
Interview to IstoÉ - August 2010
Putin is very active in the management of Russia, and Kirchner
was the most powerful political figure in his country in recent times. Lula will continue to be very influential after the end of his
mandate. He will engage to preserve his legacy and keep the established coalition reasonably intact to secure the victory of “Lulism” in the 2010 elections. He will act to give Dilma’s coalition
governance conditions. However, he is not likely to act in a routine
to interfere in the affairs of government. Lula will leave the role
of the executive to take over the “board” of the government, a
fictional but weighty position.
Especially in the general direction of the country’s future and
the arbitration of disputes and conflicts.

Challenges: economic and political agendas and pending issues
The new president will have to focus on an intense political and
economic agenda at the beginning of the government in 2011.
Even during the transition period, some themes can be defined
by Lula along with the President-elect, such as:
Purchase of new fighters for the Air Force (FX2). The government
wants the French Rafale fighter. The Air Force prefers the Swedish Gripen;
Extradition of Cesare Battisti, convicted in Italy for terrorism and
approved by the Supreme Court, pending final decision by the
government;
National Program for Human Rights, whose final text has caused
much controversy and may have its scope reduced. The most
contentious issue is the installation of the Truth Commission to
aprove crimes against human rights during the military regime;
Choose the 11th minister of the Supreme Court, with the vacancy left by STF Eros Grau. Cesar Asfor from STJ is a favorite;
Adoption of 19 provisional meausures that are pending vote in
Congress, and pending projects like the Union Budget for 2011
and completion of the vote on the pre-salt.
Besides these pressing issues, there are short and medium term
isssues to consider:
Political Challenges
Form a political base modeled after the coalition govern-
ment;
Reconcile the 11 parties of the allied base, with the PT and
the PMDB as protagonists;
Develop and prepare a legislative agenda for 2011 that includes topics such as the new regulatory framework for the mining
and fertilizer areas, renewal of concessions in the electricity sector,
pension reform, tax reform, among others.
Construct the election of the presidency of the Congress;
Appease the defeated and try to establish a minimal relationship
with the opposition.
Macro-Economic Challenges:
Mount a credible economic team;
Clarify the tax issue with regard to the intention of maintaining
the current status or extending the primary surplus, or even se-
eking a nominal surplus;
Tackle the currency issue in order to attempt to reconcile the
devaluation of the real with the maintenance of high reserves;
Expand exports with the Eximbank;
Set the Welfare Reform for entrants into the labor market; Signalize positive expectations about the current growth momentum.
The medium-term economic challenges should be divided into
macro and micro.
Economic Challenges (Micro)
Deal with pending issues on the legislative-regulatory areas (mining, credit cards, competition, regulatory agencies, communication and internet, pre-salt, etc.);
Resume investment programs in infrastructure aimed at 2014
FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games;
Other themes can also be considered with priority:
Addressing the shortage of manpower;
Stimulating innovation programs;
Reduce cost of banking spread.
As seen, the new government will face a considerable amount of
challenges. However, the biggest challenge of all will be to govern
without the popular support that Lula had. Particularly, the second
term.
More than a popular president, Lula managed to gather around
him an extraordinary alliance that included most of the population
who supported his government, and significant sectors of the business, financial system, and also workers and social movements.
Without a charismatic president such as Lula, the new government will have a huge challenge in maintaining the social and political unity of its coalition. To do this, it will have to work har well to
meet the expectations of its allies, strengthen itself to destabilize
the opposition and also maintain high popularity.

The PSDB after the elections
J
osé Serra lost the Presidential race for the second time and the
PSDB was defeated in the third consecutive presidential election for the Workers Party - PT (2002, 2006 and 2010).
The great nemesis of toucans (PSDB) is president Lula, who defeated Serra (2002) and Geraldo Alckmin (2006), and was largely
responsible for building the candidacy of Dilma Rousseff (PT).
However, the toucans also had gains in the elections this year.
While the group elected for the House of Representatives has decreased from 65 (2006) to 53 (2010) and in the Senate the number has
remained the same from 2006, the party did well in state disputes.
With the victories of Marconi Perillo (Goias), Anchieta Júnior
(Roraima), Teotônio Vilela Filho (Alagoas), Simão Jatene (Pará), Geraldo Alckmin (Sao Paulo), Antônio Anastasia (Minas Gerais), Beto
Richa (Parana) and Siqueira Campos (Tocantins), the PSDB has doubled the number of governors elected in 2006.
The victory in eight states, besides making the PSDB the party
with most elected governors, will give PSDB rule over 47.47% of the
national electorate. Moreover, the party has a natural candidate for
2014: the former governor of Minas Gerais and Senator-elect Aécio
Neves. However, there are many challenges ahead: since the arrival of President Lula to power in 2002, the PSDB did not have
an effective role as opposition party.
By not taking a clear political strategy, as the PT had during
the FHC’s government, the PSDB lost their way and came to
depend on the emergence of scandals to wear down the government.
In addition to seeking a political message for the next four
years, Aécio has to face the command of the party in São Paulo.
Despite the wear with the defeats of Serra and Alckmin in the
last three elections, the command of the party machine will not
be easily delivered.
Thus, Aécio Neves needs to assert his great ability to articulate, while making the PSDB’s São Paulo wing work in his favor
in 2014, already thinking about building majority that allows it
to take control of the party
For his moderate and unifying profile, the trend is that Aécio does not assume a posture of vehement opposition to the
government. He should opt for rapprochement with parliamentarians of the PSB, PDT, and PP (parties that are allied base) in
the Senate, seeking the presidential succession in 2014.
Apparently, the strategy of Aécio is to bring to his side
parties that were under the Lula government in recent years,
especially after 2012, in order to weaken Dilma’s base.
Opposition will control
nearly 60% of GDP
Dilma Rousseff (PT) has chosen the tax reform as one
of the priority topics for her future government. However,
since the PSDB and DEM will rule ten states, there may be
additional obstacles ahead that will require even more capacity of political articulation.
PSDB will rule Goiás, Roraima, Alagoas, Pará, São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Tocantins, Paraná, and the Democrats,
Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Norte.
Together, these states have 59.41% of the national
GDP, which can be an impediment to reform.
Besides a historical opposition from governors to the
tax changes the fact that major part of GDP is in the hands
of opposition may be a complicating factor.

Where Dilma won by the highest margin, which can be explained by the strength of the federal government’s social programs
(Bolsa Familia, Luz para Todos, etc.) in the region. She got 66.8%

Dilma got 59% and Serra 24.6%. As in the North, whoever wins

DILMA’S SUPPORT
BASE IN THE SENATE
po

19 on
Independents
Lula’s allied base in Congress is of 357 deputies and
50 senators. The president‐elect Dilma Rousseff will
have a more comfortable situation, especially in the Senate: 371 votes in the House and 61 in the Senate.
The opposition shrinks and therefore has less power
to create problems for Dilma. It goes from 133 to 111
deputies and 30 senators to 19. Under the current administration, for example, the PSDB and DEM were strong
enough to create any CPI in the Senate. After all, with
27 signatures it is possible to install a parliamentary
commission of inquiry. With only 19 representatives,
the opposition will need to have the support of defectors from the governing coalition.
Dilma will also have a more favorable situation
compared to President Lula to approve proposed constitutional amendments (PEC), in particular, in the Senate. To approve a PEC, 49 votes are required.
There are other ingredients involved in the Congress that merit consideration. It is the first time since
the democratization that the PMDB participates in a
winning ticket and has the post of vice president. This
new situation may increase the internal unity of the
party. Marked by division and even though it was fundamental to good governance for the administrations
of Itamar, FHC and Lula, the legislative support of the
PMDB has always been around 60%.
The fidelity of the parties may also be higher. That’s
because the Supreme Court and the Superior Electoral
Court understood that the term belongs to the party
and not the elected official. This means that if a party
wants to close a matter, the representative that disobeys and votes differently can lose their mandate. In
crucial votes, the party power will be fundamental. As
a consequence of party fidelity, the other benches (ruralist, for example) lose power.
It is worth noting that big parties in the House became smaller and smaller parties grew. The result was
that medium parties, that have between 6 and 51 representatives add up to 275, or 53.6% of the House.
It was the party group that grew the most. Today they
have 197 seats. This greater equilibrium will result in
participation of these parties in the Dilma government,
and as a result, smaller space for the PT.
In Lula’s first term, the PT was hegemonic. In the
second, a majority. Now the PT will have to give up
more space to allies.

PT and PMDB fighting for
presidencies of House and Senate
Traditionally, the party with
the largest number of members
in the House and the Senate
elects the president of each
House. This tradition cannot be
followed due to an agreement
between the parties of the base
or when there is no agreement
between the allies.
In 2006, for example, the
PMDB elected 89 representatives and the PT, 83. However,
the party gave up on fighting for
the presidency and supported
the election of Arlindo Chinaglia
(PT). The agreement was that in
the next term (2009-2010) the PT
would support Michel Temer, as
indeed occurred. Before, in 2005,
the climate was completely dete-
riorated and Severino Cavalcanti
(PP-PE) defeated Luiz Eduardo
Greenhalgh (PT-SP), handing President Lula one of the biggest po-
litical defeats of his government.
Involved in corruption scandals,
he was obligated to leave office
and was replaced by Aldo Rebelo
(PCdoB-SP).
This year, the PT elected the
largest bench in the House, 88
seats. Therefore, the party gives
itself the right to follow Michel
Temer’s post. The PMDB does
not want to give the position
up and wants Henrique Eduardo
Alves (RN). The PT has three alternatives: Candido Vaccarezza
(SP), Marco Maia (RS) and Arlindo Chinaglia (SP).
House of Representatives - Potential House Presidents
ARLINDO CHINAGLIA (PT-SP):
Reelected for a fifth term as a federal representative. From São Paulo and a doctor. Graduated in Medicine from
UnB, with a specialization in Public Health at USP. Worked at INAMPS São Paulo and the Public Servant State Hospital. During Marta Suplicy’s administration, held the post of Secretary of Implementation of Subprefectures in
the Government of the city of São Paulo, from 2001-2002. Was president of the House (2007-2008).
CÂNDIDO VACCAREZZA (PT-SP):
Reelected for second term as federal representative. Is leader of Lula government in the House. Wishes to be
president of the House in 2011-2012.
HENRIQUE EDUARDO ALVES (PMDB-RN):
Is in his tenth consecutive term as a federal representative. Is one of the main owners of the Cabugi Communication System, of Globo TV. He is the leader of the PMDB in the House and a strong candidate to follow Michel
Temer as president.
MARCO MAIA (PT-RS):
Reelected for his third term as federal representative. Was secretary of Administration for the Olivio Dutra (PT)
government in Rio Grande do Sul and president of Trensurb (Urban Train Company in Porto Alegre). Was also in
the CPI “Apagão Aéreo”. Is current vice-president of the House. His name is rumored to follow Michel Temer as

He was Congressman for four consecutive terms and the welfare minister under Lula. He was elected senator in
the elections this year. His name is speculated to preside the Senate.
RENAN CALHEIROS (PMDB-AL):
Reelected for a third term as senator. He was also justice minister under FHC. Presided over the Senate during the
Lula government, having resigned. He is considered to return to the command of the Senate.

Winners
LOSERS
LULA: The big winner. Leaves the Presidential Palace
with a positive rating above 80% and elected his successor
(Rousseff). He is largely responsible for the third consecutive
victory of the PT over the PSDB (2002, 2006 and 2010).
JOSE SERRA: Is obviously the biggest loser. It is the second time that he loses a presidential election (2002 and
2010).Went to the second round due more to Marina’s votes than his own merits. Lost the position of natural candidate for the PSDB in 2014 to Aécio Neves.
Dilma Rousseff: With the support of President Lula, won
the presidential election. Had never run for any elective office.
Enters history as the first woman elected to the presidency.
MICHEL TEMER: The future vice president of the republic
had a decisive role in the composition of the PT-PMDB alliance. Despite the historical division of the PMDB, he managed
to drive inside of the party since the end of the military regime. Now, in addition to keeping true to the PMDB in the
government’s agenda, he will be instrumental in choosing
the new ministry.
MARINA SILVA: The candidate’s votes were surprising in
the first round (19,600,000 votes) and therefore her support
has been hotly contested by the PT and PSDB. Preferred to
stay neutral. Dilma and Serra arranged to take on commitments with the environmental agenda. Validated as third
candidate for the presidential election of 2014.
AÉCIO NEVES: Beat Hélio Costa (PMDB) and Patrus Ananias (PT) for governor and vice that had the support of President Lula. Besides winning the race for the Senate, was instrumental in the election of former President Itamar Franco
(PPS), preventing the victory of Fernando Pimentel (PT). Will
be instrumental in rebuilding the PSDB and is the main name
of his party for 2014.
EDUARDO CAMPOS: The re-elected governor of Pernambuco won a landslide victory over Jarbas Vasconcellos
(PMDB) in his state. Previously, he was responsible for bringing the PSB to support Dilma, instead of betting on their
own candidate, Ciro Gomes.
CESAR MAIA: The former mayor of Rio de Janeiro was
not able to be elected senator and his leadership has done
little for Serra in his state. The candidacy for governor of
Fernando Gabeira (PV) also did not take off. For those who
have longed for the dispute for the Planalto Palace, Cesar
Maia does not have the same clout of years ago.
ARTHUR VIRGÍLIO: Strong opposition name in the Senate during the Lula government, failed to win reelection.
Lost space in the PSDB and national politics. Arthur Virgilio
is a possible name for mayor of Manaus in 2012.
MARCO MACIEL: Former vice- president for the eight
years of Cardoso’s government suffered an emblematic defeat. Maciel failed to be reelected senator, out of office
for the first time in recent decades. Another relevant DEM
leader who was defeated.
HÉLIO COSTA: One of the few candidates supported
by President Lula, who was defeated. Former Minister of
Communications again lost the race for the government of
Minas Gerais.
JARBAS VASCONCELLOS: Senator and former governor
of Pernambuco had one of the most humiliating defeats in
dispute by the government of Pernambuco. Doubly lost because he backed José Serra against the orientation of the
PMDB, which supported Dilma.

n the second round, 8 states and the Federal District elected their governors. The PSDB, who was in the
second round in 5 states, won
in 4. With this result it became
the party with the most wins
in state elections, electing 8
governors in all (Alagoas, Goiás, Minas Gerais, Pará, Paraná,
Roraima, São Paulo and Tocantins). Next comes the PSB who
won in three second round races (Amapá, Paraíba and Piauí)
and another three in the first
round (Ceará, Espírito Santo
and Pernambuco). The PT and
PMDB, who won only one race
in the second round, ended
up tied with five state governments each (PT - Acre, Bahia,
Federal District, Rio Grande do
Sul and Sergipe; PMDB - Mato
Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul,
Maranhão, Rio de Janeiro and
Rondônia).
The DEM elected two governors (in Santa Catarina and
Rio Grande do Norte), both in
the first round. The PMN elected the governor of Amazonas
in the first round.

n this election, there was the least number
of turnarounds between the first and second
round since 1990. In nine contests in the second round, only two candidates that came in second won the final round of voting. In seven other
states, the candidates who obtained the most votes
in the first phase of the election confirmed the victory in the second round.
This phenomenon occurred in two states of the
North. One was the Amapá, where Camilo Capiberibe was behind Lucas Barreto by a small difference
in votes (28.68% to 28.93%) in the first round. However, he finished the second round with 53.77%
against 46.23% of its opponent.
Another turn around occurred in Roraima. Governor José de Anchieta was reelected in the second
tur-in with 50.41% against 49.59% of Neudo Campos. In the first round, Anchieta obtained 45.62%,
while Neudo Campos reached 47.62%.
The analysis of the numbers since 1990 shows that this phenomenon is gradually reducing its
incidence. In the elections of 1990 and 1994 were
recorded from 5 turn arounds in both contests. In
1998, that number dropped to 4. In 2002 and 2006,
there were three turn arounds.

PSDB has the best performance of its history in
governor disputes and PSB confirms rise
L
ooking at party evolution in the elections
from 1994 to 2010, we
see that the PSDB had the best
performance of its history,
despite the third consecutive
defeat in the presidential race.
The toucans elected 8 governors. Not even in 1994, year
in which FHC was elected president in a wave of optimism
stemming from the Real Plan,
were the results so positive.
That year, the PSDB elected 6
governors (seven in 1998 and
2002, six in 2006 and eight this
year). Another highlight in the
governor races was the PSB,
party that confirmed its rise.
Looking at 1994 compraed to
2010, the socialists jumped
from 2 to 6 governors.
The PT, despite keeping the
same number of governors in
2006, did not grow.
The PMDB, party that is
known for the strength of its
regional leaders, elected two
governors less than four years
ago.
The DEM, despite important defeats in these elections,
elected two governors.
The PMN elected one. PP,
PDT, PTB, PPS and PSL did not
elect any.

Analysis of party performance
Leaves 2010 election greatly strengthened. Dilma Rousseff was elected president and PT won five state
governments (Federal District, Rio Grande do Sul, Bahia, Acre and Sergipe). Moreover, it elected most seats
of the House (88 members) and 14 senators. It was also the party that won the largest number of state representatives (149). For succession in 2014, it has two strong names (Lula and Dilma). The governors Tarso Genro
(Rio Grande do Sul) and Jaques Wagner (Bahia) can also be considered as alternatives.
Was also strengthened in the elections. The party was right to bet on an alliance with the PT, despite some
disagreements, and elected vice president, Michel Temer. It was also victorious in five states (Maranhão, Mato
Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Rio de Janeiro and Rondônia). Even if it lost the post of largest group in the House
of Representatives to the PT, managed to elect 79 congressmen (the second biggest party of the House). In the
Senate, elected 16 representatives and has the most seats. Also won 147 seats in legislative assemblies. For
2014, name of the elected governor of Rio de Janeiro, Sergio Cabral, could be considered.
Leaves the dispute defeated in presidential elections for the third consecutive time (2002, 2006 and 2010),
decreased its members in the House of Representatives from 65 to 53 deputies and the Senate kept the five
parliamentarians elected in 2006, although Arthur Virgílio (Amazonas) and Tasso Jereissatti (Ceará) have not
been reelected. However, it was the biggest winner in state disputes, electing eight governors (Alagoas, Goias,
Minas Gerais, Pará, Paraná, Roraima and Tocantins). It also elected 123 state representatives across the country. The PSDB has a strong name for 2014: the senator and former governor of Minas Gerais, Aécio Neves.
However, until then, has the challenge of building a new identity for the legend.
It was the opposition party most affected due to the favorable wave of candidates backed by President Lula.
Elected only two governors (Rio Grande do Norte and Santa Catarina), reduced the size of its group in the House
of Representatives from 65 to 43 members and Senators from 6 to 2. It had significant losses of leaders like
Marco Maciel (Pernambuco), Heráclito Fortes (Piauí) and Cesar Maia (Rio de Janeiro), all candidates for Senator.
In the legislative assembly, the party won only 76 seats. It has no direction for 2014.
With the result achieved in this year’s election, the party joined the group called the “great parties.” It
was victorious in governor disputes in six states (Ceará, Pernambuco, Espírito Santo, Amapá, Paraíba and
Piauí). Increased the group in the House of Representatives from 27 to 34 representatives and the Senate from
1 to 3 senators. In the legislative assembly, the party won 73 state representatives. The re-elected governor
of Pernambuco, Eduardo Campos, emerges as a great leader of the party, and may dream of flying higher in
2014. Some even speculate the possibility of a candidacy for president in four years.
The party gained more visibility with Marina Silva’s (PV) votes in the first round than with its own performance. It didn’t elect any governors. Fernando Gabeira (PV) the party’s biggest hope didn’t manage to be
elected. It raised its group in the House of Representatives from 13 to 16 and didn’t elect any senators. On
the state assemblies PV conquered 37 seats. Even though the party’s performance was not good, it managed
to project Marina Silva’s name for the dispute in 2014.
