TL;DR
- Ronaldo Caiado, former governor of Goiás, will announce his support for Flávio Bolsonaro on Tuesday.
- The announcement will be made in Goiânia, with Daniel Vilela, the re-elected governor of Goiás, also expected to attend.
- Caiado finished fifth in the first round of presidential elections with 2.18% of the vote.
- Flávio Bolsonaro won the first round with 47.03% of the vote, narrowly ahead of President Lula's 45.16%.
- Caiado's support is an individual decision and does not represent the national stance of the PSD party, which declared neutrality.
- Former Minas Gerais Governor Romeu Zema, who came in sixth place, also announced his vote for Flávio Bolsonaro.
- The support from defeated first-round candidates like Caiado and Zema is significant given the narrow margin between Bolsonaro and Lula.
