Governor of DF prepares clean sweep of political nominees, with MDB on target

The re-elected governor of the Federal District, Celina Leão (PP), is already preparing a decree to clean up positions with nominations from political parties. The main objective is to dismiss appointees in the management of Ibaneis Rocha (MDB), of whom she was deputy.

The decree, as it has been called behind the scenes, should be published later this year, on December 31st.

The governor took office in April when Ibaneis left the position to run for the Senate. Later, amid investigations by Master bank, he withdrew his candidacy.

Celina Leão has already tried to inform the parties that occupy positions that she will withdraw some nominations. One of them is the MDB, which debated whether to adopt neutrality in the GDF elections, but ended up announcing support for it.

The argument used by the governor's interlocutors is that she is grateful for the support and will demonstrate this throughout her term, but that she did not need a broad front to win the elections. Therefore, he wants to choose which parties will occupy the most strategic positions within the government.
