David Almeida
David Antônio Abisai Pereira de Almeida, (born February 8, 1969) better known as
David Almeida, is a Brazilian lawyer and politician affiliated to the
Avante. He was elected mayor of Manaus in the
municipal elections of Brazil in 2020. In 2017 he was interim Governor of Amazonas after the annulment of
José Melo de Oliveira and his vice-governor by
TSE (Superior Electoral Court), due to problems in Brazilian justice. The Brazilian Constitution establishes that the annulment of a governor and his vice-governor, temporarily declares the presidency of the
Legislative Assembly during the year, until the supplementary internal elections, from which they
occurred in 2017, at the time Almeida was president of the legislative authority of the state of
Amazonas. In 2020, David Almeida was elected mayor of the city of
Manaus by the Avante, turning over the votes in the second round on
Amazonino Mendes, of
PODE, which ended first in the first round, succeeding
Arthur Virgílio Neto, for the 2021–2025 term.
