Cidadania to vote on joining Brazil’s Progressistas party
Cidadania will vote on joining Progressistas at an extraordinary congress on Nov.
21.
The meeting will be held by video conference, and the proposal is its only item.
If delegates approve it, the change takes effect on Nov.
27.
Under party law, incorporation means Cidadania would cease to exist as an independent party and adopt Progressistas’ rules and platform.
The proposal also includes closing the Astrojildo Pereira Foundation, a study institute linked to Cidadania.
Cidadania has been in an electoral federation with PSDB since 2022, and that partnership would end in practice if the party disappears.
The move also changes the lineup of party federations registered with Brazil’s Superior Electoral Court.
Cidadania will hold an extraordinary congress to vote on whether to be incorporated into Brazil’s Progressistas party, also known as PP.
The vote is scheduled for Saturday, November 21, at 2 p.m. by videoconference.
If delegates approve the proposal, the incorporation will take effect on November 27.
Cidadania would cease to exist as an autonomous party and adopt Progressistas’ statute and program.
The proposal also provides for ending the Astrojildo Pereira Foundation and would in practice end Cidadania’s federation with PSDB.
