Friboi reaffirms that it will stay away from the election.

In a statement, the businessman spoke out after his main ally declared support for Marconi Perillo's reelection; "When I withdrew my pre-candidacy, I said I would follow the electoral race only as a citizen, and I remain true to my word. I have always respected the positions of my colleagues, therefore, I will not interfere in their decisions regarding support," said Júnior; Marconi's allies are certain that Friboi will not help Iris Rezende and are trying to attract more Friboi supporters to the PSDB bloc.

Goiás247 - Businessman Júnior Friboi (PMDB) issued a statement emphasizing that he will remain distant from this year's state election. Rumors that Friboi would declare his support for Marconi Perillo (PSDB) this month intensified after lawyer Robledo Rezende, who coordinated the businessman's pre-campaign, joined the PSDB candidate's group this week.

"When I withdrew my pre-candidacy, I said I would follow the electoral race only as a citizen, and I remain true to my word," Friboi says in the statement. The businessman also makes it clear that he has released his allies, and many are indeed siding with Marconi, following Robledo's example.

"I have always respected the positions of my colleagues, therefore I will not interfere in their decisions regarding support," Friboi stated. Governor Marconi said he was honored by Robledo's arrival and also affirmed his belief that Júnior is predisposed to support the allied base's project.

"Of course, coming here backed by Júnior means that he also has a predisposition towards our project. Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed his right-hand man to be with us, including in charge of the campaign."

Below is the statement from Júnior Friboi:

“Friends,

When I withdrew my pre-candidacy, I said I would follow the electoral race only as a citizen, and I remain true to my word. I have always respected the positions of my colleagues, therefore I will not interfere in their decisions regarding support.

I continue working for Goiás and wishing the best for the population in these elections!
