The race for the Senate in Pernambuco has caused tension both in the ticket of Governor Raquel Lyra (PSD) and in that of Mayor João Campos (PSB). The growth of the re-election candidate in the polls has generated concern on both sides, leading to the search for approximation with allies of the rival political group and the fear of eventual sidelining during the campaign.
Senator Humberto Costa (PT), candidate for re-election and member of Campos's ticket, has invested in dialogue with allies of the governor. Last week, the Workers' Party member published a video on social media alongside State Deputy Socorro Pimentel (PSD), leader of the Lyra government in the Legislative Assembly of Pernambuco (Alepe).
The consolidation of support from mayors allied to Lyra is another strategy mentioned in the article. The text indicates that actions to increase or curb the nationalization of the dispute also move both sides of the electoral race in the state.
