Political Career

Caballero embarked on his political journey by contesting the prestigious position of Mayor of Trichado during the Bentho 2016 General Election. At the time, Trichado experienced a noteworthy leftward political shift, with a significant portion of the electorate rallying behind Caballero's charismatic appeal, particularly on social media. The incumbent mayor, Marcelo Dutra Cavalcanti, had held office for an impressive 12-year tenure, aligning with the city's preceding conservative inclinations.

In an interview with The Bentho Times, Caballero acknowledged the challenges posed by Cavalcanti's financial advantage, stating, "Cavalcanti had the upper hand with resources; she could inundate every street with campaign efforts and enlist supporters to echo the narrative of '2 more years.'"

The initial election results defied expectations, as neither Cavalcanti nor Caballero secured a majority, primarily due to the presence of the independent candidate, Cesar Vidal. Caballero garnered 46.8% (58,846) of the votes, while Cavalcanti secured 49.1% (61,738), and Vidal claimed 4.1% (5,155). Vidal, leaning more towards the left, played a pivotal role in necessitating a runoff election.

The runoff campaign proved to be an arduous battle for Caballero, who needed to win over approximately 3.2% of Vidal's supporters. Conversely, Cavalcanti sought to bridge a narrower gap of 0.9%. Caballero strategically tailored his approach, targeting moderate and right-leaning voters, while also appealing to the majority of remaining left-leaning constituents. In a stunning turn of events, the runoff election saw Caballero emerge victorious with 52.5% (66,014) of the votes, surpassing Cavalcanti's 47.5% (59,726).

Subsequent elections in Trichado witnessed Caballero's continued success, consistently securing over 70% of the vote share each time, solidifying his standing as a prominent political figure in the city's landscape.
