Pernambuco 247 - Lawyer Antônio Campos, brother of former Pernambuco governor Eduardo Campos (PSB), confirmed his entry into the world of politics. Tonca, as he is better known, announced that he is a pre-candidate to run for mayor of the municipality of Olinda under the socialist party banner in the next elections.

Antônio Campos recently transferred his electoral domicile to Olinda and submitted a request to join the party's vice-presidency at the municipal level, claiming to have a strong emotional connection with the historic city.

However, the situation is viewed with caution by the PSB leadership, given the party's strategic alliance with the PCdoB. For the past fifteen years, the city has been governed by the PCdoB, and the party is part of Governor Paulo Câmara's (PSB) base.
