    Temer reshuffles cabinet ahead of 7 October general elections

    Temer's presidential palace announced on Saturday that Gilberto Occhi, CEO of state-run bank Caixa Econômica Federal, will assume as the new health minister.

    More than one-third of the ministers in Temer’s cabinet are expected to resign this week to campaign in the 7 October general elections. The most outstanding figure of the lot is Finance minister Henrique Meirelles who is tipped to become the ruling PMDB presidential candidate, following his success in putting the Brazilian economy back on a growth track.
