After the death of Brazilian presidential candidate Eduardo Campos last week, his party has confirmed running mate Marina Silva as his replacement:
Yesterday’s announcement came after a day-long meeting between the leaders of Campos’ Socialist Party and Silva’s political movement, the Sustainability Network. During the meeting it was reportedly settled that Silva would not be required to fully step in for Campos and campaign for candidates with whom she herself has no political affiliation, which includes PSB-aligned candidates in São Paulo, Paraná and Santa Catarina states.
