Giovani Feltes Elected Mayor of Campo Bom (RS) in the First Round with 48.8% of Votes
In a closely watched election in Campo Bom, Rio Grande do Sul, Giovani Feltes, the candidate from the MDB (Brazilian Democratic Movement), secured victory in the first round of the 2024 municipal elections, becoming the new mayor. Feltes won with 48.8% of the valid votes, a clear indication of his strong support base, especially considering the competitiveness of the race. His primary opponent, Faisal Karam from the Republican Party, garnered 45.93%, showing a tight race between the two experienced politicians. Meanwhile, the third candidate, Victor from the PC do B (Communist Party of Brazil), trailed behind, securing only 5.27% of the votes.
This victory cements Feltes as a significant political figure in the region, and his leadership is expected to shape the next four years in Campo Bom. With 100% of the votes counted, his near-majority win eliminates the need for a runoff election, allowing him to begin preparing for his administration.

The election also highlighted the ongoing political dynamics within the city. Faisal Karam, a well-known figure and a strong contender, managed to secure nearly half of the votes, but it wasn't enough to force a second round. The results suggest that while the citizens of Campo Bom sought change with Feltes, Karam still maintained considerable support, potentially indicating a divided electorate.
Campo Bom's municipal election was part of Brazil’s broader 2024 elections, which were monitored closely across the country. The race exemplifies the vibrant nature of Brazil's local political scene, where every vote counts and political shifts can happen swiftly. With Feltes now elected, residents are likely to be watching closely to see how his governance will impact the city's future and whether he will deliver on the promises that resonated with nearly half the electorate.
This result also fits into the broader national context, where the MDB continues to be a significant player in local politics, demonstrating its influence across multiple municipalities in Brazil.
