Paes returns to Lula campaign, Ruas stumps for Flavio Bolsonaro

–

Neutral summary

Eduardo Paes, the former Rio de Janeiro mayor who conceded defeat in the gubernatorial election, is rejoining Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's presidential campaign. His first public event since the results were announced will be held Saturday at the Cacique de Ramos club in Olaria, where he will meet community leaders and presidents of residents' associations, mainly from the city's northern and western zones. Next week, Paes will also take part in a Lula rally in Nova Iguacu, in the Baixada Fluminense region. Paes had taken a break after the election, a move that drew criticism from allies who called his behavior "omissive." Governor-elect Douglas Ruas, by contrast, has thrown himself into Flavio Bolsonaro's campaign, touring various parts of the state. The mayor of Itaquaquecetuba, Eduardo Boigues, also backs Bolsonaro, saying his victory would help the city, which he describes as "underfunded" by the federal government.
