Sandoval Cardoso believes the candidate will be either Siqueira or Eduardo.
“I don’t understand how I could assume the position in 2015. The governor has the right to reelection. Senator Eduardo Siqueira Campos is the most prepared for the moment, should the governor decide not to seek reelection. I understand that Eduardo is the main name in our political group, and I don’t aspire to the governorship at this time,” he stated. Sandoval Cardoso is being considered in behind-the-scenes conversations at the Araguaia Palace as the leading name to be the vice-governor candidate in a possible candidacy of Eduardo Siqueira.
Tocantins 247 – Sworn in this Saturday, the 15th, as interim governor of Tocantins amidst applause from representatives of various political groups in the state, the president of the Legislative Assembly, Sandoval Cardoso (SDD), denied that he is the choice of Governor Siqueira Campos' (PSDB) group to maintain control of the Araguaia Palace.
In a press conference, Sandoval echoed what has already been reported in the press, that Governor Siqueira Campos may run for reelection, and defended the name of former Secretary of Institutional Relations Eduardo Siqueira Campos (PTB).
"I don't understand how I could assume the position in 2015. The governor has the right to reelection. Senator Eduardo Siqueira Campos is the most prepared for the moment, should the governor decide not to seek reelection. I understand that Eduardo is the main name in our political group, and I do not aspire to the governorship at this time," he stated.
