1 there are six political parties which have no representation in Federal Congress (Republicano Progressista, Socialista dos Trabalhadores Unificado, Comunista Brasileiro, da Causa<br />

Operária, Trabalhista Nacional, Social Liberal)<br />

2 the governing party in the Federal Congress is a coalition comprising 14 parties. All major political parties in Brazil have pledged their support for the staging of the Games in Rio on<br />

the basis of the synergy between the Games requirements, impacts and the long-term development plans of Brazil. there is a broadly held view across all parties that Brazil is now<br />

better able to host the Games than at any previous time in its history and that the communities of Brazil and South America will gain substantially through the acceleration impacts<br />

of the Games and the tremendous leverage the Games generates for sustainable transformation<br />

As indicated in the preceding table, all political groups are in<br />

favor of Rio <strong>2016</strong>’s bid to host the <strong>2016</strong> Games.<br />

in addition to Government and political parties, Rio <strong>2016</strong> has<br />

developed partnership relations with the Rio <strong>2016</strong> Business<br />

Council and a range of NGOs and community groups, all of<br />

which have provided active support of Rio’s Games proposals.<br />

3.5 electioNs<br />

BiNDiNG COmmitmeNtS NOt imPACteD By eLeCtiONS<br />

Brazil conducts regular elections across all levels of Government<br />

on a four year cycle. Federal and state elections are scheduled<br />

for 2010 and 2014, while City elections will be held in 2012.<br />

Given the binding nature of the undertakings and commitments<br />

made by the Federal, State and City Governments and their<br />

administrations, there will be no adverse impact on any of Brazil’s<br />

commitments to the iOC/iPC or the plans to deliver the Games.<br />

moreover, if selected, Rio will have executed the Host City<br />

Contract and related documents well before any of the scheduled<br />

elections. All levels of Government including major opposition<br />

parties have committed to the organization of the Games in Rio.<br />
