Prominent Brazil environmentalist Marina Silva, who was environment minister under ex-President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva before breaking with his party, told Reuters she is throwing her full support behind his campaign and did not rule out a role in government if he wins a third term.
Silva resigned from Lula's government in 2008, upset at his support for major infrastructure projects in the Amazon. Their reconciliation is a high-profile endorsement to shore up his center-left coalition ahead of an Oct. 2 vote.
