The federal alliance between the PSDB and Cidadania parties in São Paulo is facing internal conflict ahead of the upcoming election. The alliance must decide whether to field its own candidate for governor or support the re-election of current Governor Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos). Internal discussions suggest that leaders from Cidadania have not fully supported PSDB president Paulo Serra’s candidacy for governor and have instead shown willingness to back Freitas. Meanwhile, Cidadania leaders accuse Serra of abandoning his gubernatorial bid to secure support for Freitas, in exchange for appointments at the Fundação Casa. As a result, Cidadania leadership is considering running its own candidate, with potential names including Alex Manente and former councilwoman Soninha Francine.
