He was able to guarantee funding for major infrastructure works and the remodeling of the urban mobility system, while also improving local health and education indicators.

2017

In 2017, the PSDB, under Leite's leadership, withdrew support from the administration of José Ivo Sartori.

The following year, the PSDB nominated Leite as its gubernatorial candidate.

Sartori originally expressed an interest in Leite standing as his running mate.

In the first round of elections, Leite earned 35.9% of the vote and faced Sartori in a runoff election.

Leite won the runoff election with nearly 54% of the vote.

During the same Legislative elections, Leite's electoral coalition only elected 18 of the 55 members of the State Legislature, requiring Leite to enter into coalition negotiations to obtain a parliamentary majority.

Leite was able to secure the support of many formerly Sartori-aligned parties, including the Brazilian Socialist Party, Democrats and the Liberal Party.

While initially reluctant, the Brazilian Democratic Movement voted to join Leite's government upon the recognition of similarities between their economic policies.

After the successful negotiations, 32 of 55 Assembly members backed the Leite administration.

In August 2019, the State Assembly authorized the sale of these state companies, with the process being fully completed in early 2021.

Jefferson was ordered to pay a fine of R$300,000 (US$55,427).
