The elections are over and we already know the names of those councilors who will represent the people of Rio in the City Council (the most expensive in the nation<\/a>) in the forthcoming mandate.<\/p>\n

See below the new make-up of the Council for the coming term (2013-2016). Despite some new names elected, there were few major changes. The base of pro-government supporters remained in the majority, with 39 councilors affiliated to parties supporting the re-elected Mayor Eduardo Paes (PMDB), while there are 11 councilors from opposition parties and one independent councilor.<\/p>\n

Two of the re-elected councilors (Guaran\u00e1 of the PMDB and Cristiane Brasil of the PTB) are noteworthy for having given up their positions as councilors during the last term, in order to work directly for the Mayor. If they were to do repeat this in the coming year, it would not come as a surprise, and for this reason it is important to know who will replace them. If Guaran\u00e1 leaves the Council once more, current councilor Jo\u00e3o Cabral (PMDB) will replace him. And if Cristiane Brasil leaves her position, Zico (PTB) (who despite his name has nothing to do with the ex-football player) will take on her role.<\/p>\n

Of the few surprises in this election, it is worth noting the PSOL bench, which doubled from two to four councilors, as well as the election of the ex-Mayor Cesar Maia, who despite coming third gained significantly fewer votes than expected, meaning that the DEM bench became even smaller than in the current term. Another bench that shrunk was that of the Green Party (PV), falling from three councilors to just one. Of the other candidates hoping to be elected, neither Ricardo Campos (son of Cidinha Campos) nor Junior da Lucinha (son of Deputy Lucinha) was successful. The number of blank or spoiled ballot papers totaled almost 641,000.<\/p>\n

Whatever the outcome, and regardless of a pro-government majority, of the opposition, of the benches and of councilor X or Y, with the winds of change gathering great speed and the processes for change intensifying, the City Council needs to be overseen and carefully inspected now more than ever. And as promised, the outcome of these elections will have significant consequences (click here<\/a> to find out more).<\/p>\n
