The choice of Fábio's name had the support of 122 mayors in the state and was made late this Monday afternoon (3), putting an end to speculation.
With the definition, former governor and Senate candidate Mauro Mendes (União) also resolves another political issue. In addition to securing his ally in Otaviano Pivetta's vice-presidential position, he facilitates the candidacy of his wife, former first lady Virginia Mendes (Union), for the Chamber of Deputies, as Fábio Garcia no longer runs for re-election.
The Republicans will hold their party convention tomorrow, Tuesday (4), at Ginásio Dom Aquino, in Cuiabá, starting at 5pm, which will make Fábio's name official.
"Fábio Garcia is a great name and will help keep Mato Grosso on the right path. We are going to do more and better for this state and for everyone who lives here. He had the support of 122 mayors who found in Fábio the right profile to be vice-governor", said Pivetta.
Fábio Garcia, who previously held the position of chief secretary of the Civil House, is one of Pivetta's trusted people, and had already been considered for the position.
"We are going to work hard for Mato Grosso. I thank Governor Pivetta for this opportunity and trust and we are going to work hard so that the moment of development that this state is experiencing continues. We cannot go backwards", highlighted Fábio.
So far, Pivetta has in his coalition the support of the PSDB/Cidadania Federation and should have made official on the 5th the support of the Progressive Union Federation, formed by União Brasil and PP.
Podemos and Avante are still holding their conventions this Tuesday and can also declare support for Pivetta.
