José Paulo Bisol

José Paulo Bisol (22 October 1928 – 26 June 2021) was a Brazilian politician and judge. Bisol most notably served as the vice presidential running mate of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, known as Lula, in the 1989 presidential election. Bisol was originally set to serve as Lula's running mate in the 1994 presidential election, but was replaced by Aloizio Mercadante. Bisol was famous for being an opponent of corruption, and was said to have had a "Mr. Clean" image that was damaged by accusations surrounding his career as a judge during the 1994 campaign.
