This article continues the analysis of Brazil’s 2024 municipal elections, now focusing on results from the second round. Key outcomes include high abstention rates, fragmentation within the right-wing, the decline of traditional parties, and implications for the 2026 national elections.
The 2024 municipal elections in Brazil, held every four years, determine the mayors of 5,570 cities across the country, as well as their city council members. These elections serve as a political thermometer for the upcoming presidential elections, which follow two years later. The elections not only provided a diverse landscape of elected mayors but also showed significant changes in the distribution of city councilors and the performance of the main political parties at the local level.

This does not mean completely ignoring (cooperativism) cooperative philosophy, but the researcher's personal beliefs must not influence the research findings."
If the elections were held today, the elected president would be Luis Inácio Lula da Silva, according to a new survey conducted by Datafolha this month.
Cooperation is a collective action between two or more people, for a common purpose. Records in cooperation exist throughout the history of humankind, and various forms of cooperation between humans have been noticed since antiquity. The action is as old as human relations. Every day individuals have helped each other to overcome obstacles or to defend themselves from the weather, diseases, hunger, misery, etc. This concept is also related to modern times and is used in organizations that are called cooperatives.
