247 – About to embark from Brasília to Curitiba, on the afternoon of Thursday the 3rd, Senator Aloysio Nunes Ferreira Filho (PSDB-SP) did not include himself among those who believe that Senator Marta Suplicy's withdrawal from the race for mayor of São Paulo could boost the return of former governor José Serra as a candidate. “He remains a non-candidate. The PSDB has two names to choose from: José Aníbal and Andrea Matarazzo.” The senator is not currently reflecting on a possible alliance with Mayor Gilberto Kassab's PSD. “(Henrique) Meirelles will not be a candidate. The PSD's candidate is (Guilherme) Afif.” One of the most astute analysts on the political scene, Aloysio could have been a strong PSDB candidate himself, but Governor Geraldo Alckmin did not encourage this move.
