Winners and Losers of the 2020 Municipal Elections

How should the results of the 2020 elections be understood against the backdrop of Brazil’s frag-mented party landscape? Has the weight shifted between the different political groupings? What role do the “old” parties PT, PSDB and PMDB play? Were the “winners” of the 2018 elections, PSL and Novo, able to hold their own in the lo-cal elections? What does the result mean for the current federal government, whose president is currently non-partisan?
