2020 election

The last mayoral election in Rio de Janeiro, held in 2020, resulted in a largest victory of Bruno Reis (DEM) in the first round. Reis obtained 779.408 votes or 64.20% of the valid votes against his main opponent. He had been vice mayor of the municipality under popular incumbent ACM Neto. His election was viewed as a continued endorsement of ACM Neto's mayorship.[2]

Reis later supported ACM Neto's unsuccessful bid for governor in 2022.
