PDT maintains independent gubernatorial candidacy in Minas Gerais despite national alliance with PT

The PDT has rejected a coalition with the PT in Minas Gerais, opting to maintain Alexandre Kalil as its gubernatorial candidate despite the party's national support for President Lula. This decision follows the PT's nomination of Patrus Ananias, which PDT leadership characterizes as a failure to coordinate in a timely manner. The move highlights internal friction within the governing coalition at the state level.
