After the 2002 election, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva became the first left-wing and first metalworker and trade unionist president of Brazil. His inauguration marked the first time since 1961 when a president elected by direct popular vote passed the presidential sash to another president elected by popular vote. Lula's cabinet was unveiled in December 2002.[1][2] A second cabinet was formed after the 2006 election.[3]
