Political career

During his tenure as mayor, the protests in Brazil in 2013 occurred in June 2013 over the increase in bus tariffs, inner-city traffic calming and the expansion of bus traffic and a municipal law on corruption control and auditing by a newly created office, the Controladoria Geral do Município de São Paulo (CGM) .

Haddad was announced as Lula da Silva's vice-presidential candidate in the 2018 presidential election in August 2018. After the Supreme Electoral Court again denied Lula da Silva the right to stand for his conviction for corruption offenses on August 31, 2018 , it was widely expected that he would become the PT's next presidential candidate , which the party did on September 11, 2018 after withdrawing from Lula da Silva also decided. As his candidate for the vice-presidency, he will be replaced by the national representative in Rio Grande do Sul Manuela d'Ávila of the Communist Party of Brazil (PCdoB). Haddad lost the presidential election with 44.87% in the second ballot.
