- Brazilian_presidential_election,_1985 abstract "The 1985 Brazilian presidential election was the last to be held indirectly through an electoral college, and the last to be held under the Military Regime. The electoral college system was put in place so that the military elite that controlled the government could secure the election of the candidate chosen by the High Command of the Armed Forces as President. However, in 1985, due to the process of negotiated transtion to democracy that started in the late 70's, the politicians in the electoral college were placed under no coercion, and were allowed to choose the president of their choice.The electoral college was composed of all the members of the Brazilian bicameral National Congress (formed by Senators and Federal Deputies) and also of a number of State Deputies who were especially elected by their peers in the State Assemblies for the purpose of serving as delegates of those Assemblies in the electoral college. The 1982 legislative elections had already taken place under the process of gradual restoration of democratic freedoms, and the opposition had a slim majority of seats in the Chamber of Deputies, but the governing party, allied with the Military Regime, still controlled the Senate (only a fraction of the composition of the Senate had been up for election in 1982, other sentators had been elected indirectly in the late 70's).Two groups were disputing the succession of President João Figueiredo: the Democratic Alliance and the Democratic Social Party. The Democratic Alliance, which claimed the return of the civilians to the government through the creation of a new Constitution, launched the candidacy of Tancredo Neves from the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party and was supported by the Liberal Front, a dissidence of the Democratic Social Party, and the Democratic Labour Party. The Democratic Social Paty, on the other hand, claimed the continuity of the 1964 regime, and launched the candidature of Paulo Salim Maluf.On January 15, 1985, the Congress gathered to vote for the presidential election. Tancredo Neves was elected President with 480 votes (72,4%) against only 180 (27,3%) given to Maluf. There were 26 abstentions, mostly from parliamentarians from the Workers' Party, which decided to maintain its neutrality and support neither of the candidates. Some of its members, however, such as actress and congresswoman Bete Mendes, voted on the Democratic Alliance and ended up being expelled from the party. Overall, three members of the party (Airton Soares, Mendes and José Eudes) were expelled from it.On March 14, 1985, just one day prior to his inauguration, President-elect Tancredo Neves fell ill with strong abdominal pain. José Sarney, who was elected Vice-President, went on the ceremony and took office. On April 21, 1985, Neves died from a generalized infection. Although he was never technically a President, his name is counted on the official list of Brazilian presidents as a matter of homage.".
