Carlos Bolsonaro was elected councilor with fewer votes than in 2016
President Jair Bolsonaro (without a party) decided to delete a publication that indicated candidates for mayor, councilor and senator (in the case of Mato Grosso) as soon as the first electoral results began to appear on Sunday night (11/15).
The president did not explain why he had an appeal that excluded the list of recommendations. The publication, made the day before the vote, included the numbers of the candidates.
Of the seven nominated by Bolsonaro for the position of mayor, five did not even make it to the second round.
Neither of the two recommendations from the president who won a place in the second round of voting appear first in the polls.
Among the 5 candidates recommended by the president for the council positions, only two were chosen.

Bolsonaro’s paid Facebook post
The main expectation was Walderice Santos da Conceição, “Wal do Açaí”, named as an alleged ghost employee of Bolsonaro’s office in the Chamber of Deputies, whose electoral leads were the president and his children.
Repeating a successful strategy in 2018, he adopted the president’s last name in this campaign. The result, however, was meager: Wal had 266 votes and was not elected.
In Mato Grosso, where he voted for senator, Bolsonaro’s nominee was also defeated.
During the week before the vote, Bolsonaro conducted live broadcasts on his social media channels indicating candidates.
Electoral lives, as the president himself described the broadcasts, are the subject of investigations by the Federal Public Ministry in several states for allegedly irregular electoral campaign.
On Friday, the president said he would stop advertising. “Today there will be no ‘electoral’ alive. The legislation is not clear about its implementation as of this date. Good evening everyone, ”Bolsonaro wrote.

As the SP Chamber has 55 councilors, neither of the two scholarship recipients should be among those elected by the São Paulo members.

This is the first supplemental election for the Senate in 50 years in Brazil, according to the legislature.
The vote is the result of the impeachment of former senator Selma Arruda and her two alternates, by the Superior Electoral Tribunal (TSE). They are charged with two cash and abuse of economic power in the 2018 campaign.
