Biography

Alves graduated with a law degree from Universidade Santa Úrsula, though he never became a lawyer because he never had registered with the Order of Attorneys of Brazil (OAB). [5] Coming from a politically prominent family, he is the son of former Natal mayor Agnelo Alves, who had been removed from office during the Brazilian military dictatorship due to his family's opposition to the regime. Carlos Eduardo Alves later entered into politics in Natal and became a state deputy in 1986. His uncles were ex-governor of Rio Grande do Norte Aluízio Alves, through whom Henrique Eduardo Alves is his cousin, and former senator Garibaldi Alves, through whom Garibaldi Alves Filho is also his cousin.

In 2000, he was elected vice-mayor of Natal, having assumed the mayoralty in 2002 after the resignation of then-mayor Wilma de Faria, to run for governor. He was reelected in his own right in 2004. [6]

After ending his mandate, Alves was caught in scandals involving the expiration of eight tons of medicine that were stored by his administration that were later discarded. [7]

In 2010, he ran for governor of Rio Grande do Norte as part of the Democratic Labour Party (PDT), receiving third place with 160,828 votes (10.37%) and not advancing to the second round. [8] The winner was Rosalba Ciarlini of the Democrats.

During the 2012 municipal elections in Natal, Alves once again became a candidate for mayor for the PDT, with former governor Wilma de Faria of the PSB as his vice-mayoral pick. [9] On 7 October, he came in first place with 153,464 votes (40.42%). He moved on to the second round on 28 October against Hermano Moraes of the PMDB. [10] He was elected in the second round with 214,687 votes, or 58.31% of the vote. [1]

Alves ran for reelection in 2016, and won reelection in the first round, with 225,741 votes, or 63.42% of the vote. [2] He took office on 1 January 2017. [11]

On 6 April 2018, he announced that he would resign from office to run to be governor of Rio Grande do Norte later that year. His vice-mayor, Álvaro Costa Dias, assumed the mayoralty. [4] [12] He advanced to the second round, but lost to then-senator Fátima Bezerra. [13]
