Kassab says he wants to end his career in the future as a city councilor in São Paulo

Gilberto Kassab, the national president of the PSD party, expressed his desire to conclude his political career as a city councilor in São Paulo during an interview.

Gilberto Kassab, who is the national president of the PSD party in Brazil, recently mentioned in an interview with São Paulo's City Council channel that he aims to finish his political career as a vereador (city councilor) in the capital. He humorously stated that he would step down from regional and national politics once he grows tired of the travel and campaign demands, marking a return to local governance where he started his journey in politics.

In his charming demeanor during the interview, Kassab made a light-hearted remark suggesting to local politicians to be cautious, humorously asserting that he intends to win their elections and return to the council. Kassab previously served as a vereador from 1993 to 1995, a period that marked the beginning of his extensive political career, which includes roles as a state and federal deputy, mayor of São Paulo, and minister.

The interview is part of a series where former city councilors are featured, and their conversations are set to be compiled into a book to be released at the end of this year. Kassab's remarks provide a nostalgic reflection on local politics and hint at his aspirations and plans as he nears the later stages of his political journey.
