The Rio PT state directory unanimously approved support for Eduardo Paes' candidacy for state governor. The party also confirmed Benedita da Silva as Senate candidate on Paes' ticket.
The Rio PT's decision comes after Governor Cláudio Castro's resignation, which left the Guanabara Palace occupied on an interim basis by the president of Rio de Janeiro's Court of Justice since March 24. Eduardo Paes had left the Rio mayoralty also at the end of March to run for state governor.
