The PSDB demanded the support of the Toucan candidate from the MDB in order to drop the presidential candidate and declare support for Tebet. However, Gabriel Souza remains the tentative candidate for the government.

The MDB of Rio Grande do Sul is divided between the Sousa group and the old guard of legend, which includes former governor Germano Rigotto and federal deputy Alceu Moreira.
