BRAZIL: All change ahead of 2018 elections
After President Michel Temer was acquitted of corruption charges last week, attention has already turned to who will succeed him after the next general elections in 2018. Unlike Brazil’s previous three presidents (Fernando Henrique Cardoso [1995-2003], Lula da Silva [2003-2011] and Dilma Rousseff [2011-2016]) who all ran successfully for a second term, Temer will not be running again. But in a surprise move, he recently endorsed the mayor of São Paulo and possible presidential contender João Doria.
