The governor of Piauí, Rafael Fonteles, projected that President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will obtain more than 80% of valid votes in the state during the upcoming elections. The declaration was made during a political event held alongside the president himself.
Fonteles stated that the goal of the campaign is not only to guarantee Lula's victory at the polls, but also to ensure favorable political conditions so that the federal government can govern without pressure.
The event reinforces the alliance between the state government of Piauí and the federal administration, demonstrating the state executive's support for the continuity of Lula's mandate.
The expectation of more than 80% of valid votes indicates strong popularity for Lula in the northeastern Brazilian state.
