Why It Matters
The PL had elected 19 deputies in 2022 and reached 21 throughout the current legislature, consolidating progressive growth in the Legislative Assembly of São Paulo.
The PL confirmed this Sunday (4) its position as the main political force in the Legislative Assembly of São Paulo (Alesp) and significantly expanded its presence in the House for the second consecutive electoral cycle. After electing 19 deputies in 2022, the party reached 21 members throughout the legislature and has now won 28 seats for the term that begins in 2027.
The result strengthens the base of re-elected governor Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans). Together, the parties that supported his candidacy for re-election — PL, PSD, União Brasil, Podemos, PP, Republicans, MDB, Novo, PRD and PSDB — elected 67 of the 94 state deputies in the next legislature. The result guarantees Palácio dos Bandeirantes a comfortable majority in the Legislative Assembly, equivalent to more than two thirds of the seats in the House.
The PL bench was boosted by the record vote of Eduarda Campopiano, who received 1,956,238 votes and became the second most voted state deputy in the state's history. Alone, she obtained around 8.4% of the valid votes for state deputy, a vote that was enough to secure approximately another seven seats for the party in the Legislative Assembly.
