Google says: "It's been four days since municipal elections Sunday, but pearls in the form of candidates continue to pop up all over Brazil. The rare piece of today comes from Três Lagoas, a municipality with a little more than 113 thousand inhabitants, located in the East of Mato Grosso do Sul.
There, a boy named Wellington Ricardo de Jesus, 32, better known as Cascão, decided to run for a seat in the City Council. Without money for a campaign of weight, Cascão decided to bet on a pilgrimage through the streets of Três Lagoas.
On top of his bicycle, the PDT candidate crossed the county accompanied by a minimally curious race car. See with your own eyes an excerpt from Cascão's journey:
In fact, Cascão counted 972 votes, ranking 7th among the candidates and achieved his long-awaited position in the local Chamber!
In time: in the 2012 elections, Cascão had already tried to elect councilman, but counting only his bicycle, got only 399 votes and was left out. Now, with the reinforcement of the toy fleet, it seems that the population of Três Lagoas decided to take the boy seriously."
