Lula's campaign monitors elections for Goiás government with attention to possible second round

The campaign of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) is following with special attention the election for the government of Goiás, this Sunday (4).

Polls have shown a strong possibility of a second round between governor Daniel Vilela (MDB), who is leading the dispute, and senator Wilder Morais (PL), who has appeared slightly ahead of Marconi Perillo (PSDB).

Vilela is supported by Ronaldo Caiado (PSD), for whom he was vice-president, while Morais is an ally of Flávio Bolsonaro (PL).

The PT members' assessment is that, in a scenario in which Vilela and Morais face each other, Caiado will not enter Flávio's campaign head-on. The current governor should use as a campaign line the fact that he is moderate, against the extremism of his Bolsonaro opponent.

The Lulistas' hope is that, at most, Caiado would give protocol support to the PL presidential candidate, with the justification of helping to remove Lula from power.
