Cotrim believes he will receive more than 20 per cent of the vote
João Cotrim de Figueiredo says that on Sunday he will receive more than 20 per cent of the vote and believes the way he campaigned will “serve as inspiration” for other political battles. The candidate insisted that the “dirty campaign” he believes he is being targeted by will not succeed.
Cotrim warns that 'a dirty campaign of insinuations and noise' will not work
The presidential candidate says the attacks — 'numerous, insidious and vile' — are motivated by his standing in the polls.
Cotrim and IL contradict former aide over harassment complaint: case said to 'sabotage' the campaign
The alleged sexual harassment case involving Cotrim de Figueiredo resurfaced in the campaign on Thursday. A former aide says she reported it internally to IL. The candidate and the party deny her account.
Can closely fought polls be poor advisers?
Candidates lose their common sense and opt for personal attacks and mudslinging to distance themselves from their opponents. And did the accusation of sexual harassment destroy Cotrim's candidature?
