Cabo Daciolo (Patriota) João Amoêdo (Novo) Geraldo Alckmin (PSDB) Ciro Gomes (PDT) Fernando Haddad (PT) Jair Bolsonaro (PSL) FIRST ROUND ANALYSIS The first round of the elections came to an end and was marked by the importance of social networks, especially Whatsapp, and by the amount of Fake News. Television time, an instrument hitherto used as a fundamental tool for consolidating votes has proved not to be individually enough to leverage a candidacy. PSDB's candidate Geraldo Alckmin made alliances with the center parties to get as much television time as possible, and because of the negative aspects of those alliances and the failure to identify voters' aspirations, he was not able to grow ST in the polls. Alckmin won the party election and lost the 1 ROUND TIMELINE popular election, with a hesitant and failed campaign and in being the anti-PT candidate and the third way.
