Gilberto Kassab, the national president of the PSD, is spearheading a tour across the state of São Paulo with three of the party's presidential hopefuls: Eduardo Leite from Rio Grande do Sul, Ratinho Júnior from Paraná, and Ronaldo Caiado from Goiás. This tour includes the ceremony of party affiliations for at least twelve politicians in five different cities, showcasing the PSD's efforts to expand its influence and network ahead of the upcoming elections.

On Friday, the group is set to visit major cities including Sorocaba, Santos, Itapevi, and Presidente Prudente, as well as São Paulo city itself. Their first stop will be in Sorocaba, where they will participate in the affiliations of two politicians from the PSDB, marking a strategic shift of these individuals into the PSD. This move indicates the party's aim to attract experienced political figures to bolster its ranks and enhance their presence in the region.

The tour continues into Saturday with stops in Santos, where they will welcome new members, including a federal deputy and a former vice-mayor. This series of events underscores the PSD's campaign efforts and its strategies to gather support and establish connections among various political leaders in one of Brazil's most populous states, which could significantly influence the political landscape in the lead-up to the elections.
