Councilor Alexandre Aleluia (New) was elected president of the Salvador City Council for the 2027-2028 biennium. The choice took place this Monday (9), during a formal session held at the headquarters of the municipal Legislature.

Aleluia received 36 votes from the 42 councilors present and won the dispute against Hamilton Assis (PSOL), who obtained five votes. A null vote was also recorded. The only absence in the session was that of councilor Aladilce Souza, who is on leave.

In addition to the presidency, parliamentarians defined the other members of the Board of Directors who will lead the Chamber's work for the next two years. The following were elected:

Rodrigo Amaral (PSDB) for the first vice-presidency;

Duda Sanches (PSDB) for the second vice-presidency;

Roberta Caires (Republicans) for third vice-presidency;

Cláudio Tinoco (União Brasil) in the first secretariat;

Randerson Leal (Podemos) in the second secretariat;

Ricardo Almeida (DC) in the third secretariat;

Kel Torres (Republicans) in the fourth secretariat;

Paulo Magalhães Júnior (União Brasil) for the Internal Affairs Department;

João Cláudio Bacelar (Podemos) for the Ombudsman’s Office;

Jorge Araújo (PP) for the Substitute Ombudsman.

Among those elected, Duda Sanches, Cláudio Tinoco and Kel Torres were reappointed to the roles they already held. Ricardo Almeida, in turn, left the second secretary to take over the third.

Councilors Daniel Alves (PSDB), Alex Alemão (DC), Sandro Bahiense (PP) and Fábio Souza (PRD) will occupy substitute positions on the Board of Directors.

The session was led by the current president of the Chamber, Carlos Muniz (PSDB). During the work, he highlighted that the anticipation of the election of the Board of Directors had been requested by councilors last week.

The Internal Regulations of the House provide for the possibility of bringing forward the election to renew the Board of Directors. According to the rules, voting can take place before the regulatory date upon request presented by any parliamentarian, approved by the absolute majority of CMS members and published in the Official Gazette of the Legislature.

In this case, 32 councilors signed a request that was delivered to the president of the House. The request was put to a vote and was approved with three abstentions, from councilors Sílvio Humberto (PSB), Eliete Paraguassu (PSOL) and Marta Rodrigues (PT).

To assist in conducting this Monday's vote, councilors Sandro Filho and Teo Senna were invited, respectively the youngest and oldest among the House's parliamentarians.

Although the election was held in advance, the new Board of Directors will only take office on January 1, 2027, the date on which the mandate for the 2027-2028 biennium will officially begin.
