Local Reports Suggest Doria To No Longer Run For President

BRAZIL
  • (Reuters) - The governor of Brazil's most populous and richest state, Joao Doria, will announce his decision not to run for president later on Thursday, according to local newspapers citing allies close to the center-right politician.
  • Doria, who is Sao Paulo governor and also a successful businessman, was planning to stand in the October election and was nominated by his PSDB party in a primary last November. Local daily newspaper Folha, citing his aides, suggested he would stay on as governor.
  • The decision paves the way for Rio Grande do Sul governor, Eduardo Leite, to run for president on the PSDB ticket. This week Leite stepped down as governor of Brazil's southernmost state, a move that would allow him to run in the election.
