Álvaro Dias (PSDB) was elected mayor of Natal this Sunday (15). According to the Regional Electoral Tribunal, with 100% of the votes counted, it had 194,764 votes, which represents 56.58% of the valid votes.
He is the current mayor and assumed the mayoralty of Natal in 2018 when Carlos Eduardo (PDT) resigned to contest the elections to the state government.
Álvaro Dias was born in Caicó, on September 4, 1959. With a degree in Medicine, he entered public life at the age of 24, when he assumed the vice-prefecture of Caicó and the municipal health secretary of the city.
He was a state deputy for four terms and president of the Legislative Assembly between 1997 and 2002. In the 2002 general elections, Álvaro ran for the post of federal deputy and obtained the second largest vote in the state, taking his seat in Brasilia a year next.
In 2010, Álvaro Dias ran for state government on the list headed by former Natal mayor Carlos Eduardo, but both lost to Democrat Rosalba Ciarlini, elected in the first round.
In 2016, he was again runner-up in a dish headed by Carlos Eduardo Alves, this time running for re-election for mayor of Natal. The ticket was chosen in the first round. Two years later, Carlos Eduardo resigned from office to try to become governor of Rio Grande do Norte. Álvaro then assumed the mayoralty of the capital, a position he currently occupies.
