The presidential transition of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's second presidency officially began on November 3, 2022,[2] and ended with his inauguration on January 1, 2023. Then vice president-elect Geraldo Alckmin was appointed as the chair of Lula's transition team on November 1, 2022.[3]
Background[edit]
Following the results of the 2022 Brazilian general election on October 30, president-elect Lula's campaign team expressed concern about incumbent president Jair Bolsonaro's 44-hour delay in recognizing the results of the polls and authorizing the start of the government transition. The green light was given only on November 2 by Bolsonaro's Chief of Staff of the Presidency, Ciro Nogueira.[4]
Timeline[edit]
Post-election[edit]
- October 30: Lula is declared the winner of the election.[5]
- October 31: President Bolsonaro refuses to accept the elections results.[6]
- November 1: Vice president-elect Alckmin appointed as the chair of Lula's transition team.[3]

Establishment of the transition team[edit]
The transition team was appointed by Lula since the day after the elections with more than fifty Brazilian officials led by some names that will compose the new administration as ministers.[10] The national president of the Workers' Party, Gleisi Hoffmann, and the former minister, Aloizio Mercadante, were chosen as co-chairs of the transition team.[3]
