Camber of Ponta Grossa votes on early election

The Câmara Municipal de Ponta Grossa votes on Wednesday (11) a proposal that may advance the election of the new Executive Board of the Legislative Council for next Friday (13). The Draft Resolution No. 02/2026 provides for changes in the Internal Rules of Procedure of the House, establishing a new date for the election of the President and the other members of the Board of Directors of the House.

The election is currently scheduled for December 15. If the amendment is approved, the election of the new leaders may take place as early as Friday, November 13, anticipating in just over a month the definition of the command of the Legislative for the biennium 2027-2028.

What changes in the election of the House?

The proposal amends Article 31 of the Rules of Procedure, determining that the election for renewal of the Executive Board is always held on the second Friday of November of the year in which the mandate of the current management ends.

By the text, the vote should take place in a special session, led by the Executive Bureau that is ending the mandate.

The elected councillors will take office on 1 January of the following year. Therefore, even with the anticipation of the election for November, the possession of the new direction will continue scheduled for January 1, 2027.

The justification presented by the authors highlights that the change intends to establish a permanent calendar, guaranteeing predictability and organization to the internal electoral process.

Proposal is signed by the Board of Directors

The project is authored by the Board of Directors of Câmara Municipal de Ponta Grossa, formed by the councilors Dr. Erick, Dr. Zeca, Julio Kuller, Professor Careca and Teka dos Animais.

According to the justification, the definition of a fixed date would also avoid further changes to the Rules of Procedure for each process of renewal of the Executive Board.

The proposal received favourable opinions in the internal proceedings and was included in the agenda of the session on Wednesday (11).

Presidency dispute moves political backstage

The possible anticipation takes place amid the articulations for the succession of the current mayor, Julio Kuller.

Councilman Paulo Balansin is nominated as a candidate for the presidency for the next two years. A group of lawmakers announced support for the candidacy, which, according to information released on Wednesday, would already bring together 12 of the 19 councilors of the House.

The early definition of the Executive Board would allow the new leaders to begin the administrative planning of the Legislative before the beginning of 2027.

Election can happen in just two days

With the vote on the bill on Wednesday, the House will be able to define an important change in its political calendar.

If the text is approved and enters into force in time, the election of the new Executive Board may take place on Friday (13), only two days after the evaluation of the proposal.
