Hassan Andrade Iosseff, popularly known as Hassan de Zé Cocá, (May 25, 1969) is a Brazilian businessman and politician affiliated with the Progressistas (PP).[1][2] Since 2023, he has served as a state deputy for Bahia.[3][4]

Biography

Hassan was born in Jequié, a city in the interior of Bahia, in 1969.[5] He finished high school and started working, eventually becoming a partner in a clothing store.[6]

Politics

Affiliated with the Brazilian Labour Party (PTB), he was a candidate for deputy mayor of Jequié in the 2016 Jequié municipal election, on a ticket headed by Sérgio da Gameleira, affiliated with the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB).[7] The political alliance formed by Hassan and Sérgio was elected with 44% of the votes in the first round, beating Fernando Vieira, a doctor affiliated with the Green Party (PV).[8]

The following year, Hassan left the PTB and joined the Social Democratic Party (PSD).[6] Sérgio was suspended from his position pending investigation for administrative impropriety, leaving the position vacant for ninety days, allowing Hassan to take over on an interim basis.[9][10] Despite having assumed the position of mayor, he chose not to run for mayor in the 2020 election, which was won by Zé Cocá.[11][12]

Hassan approached Cocá's administration and served during his term as Municipal Secretary between 2020 and 2021.[13][14][15] Between 2021 and 2022, he was member of Podemos (PODE).[6]

In 2022, he joined the Progressistas (PP) party in a ceremony attended by important figures from the party in the state, including Zé Cocá, Mário Negromonte Jr., João Leão, Nelson Leal, Niltinho, and Eduardo Salles.[16] In the same year, he ran for state deputy of Bahia in the 2024 election.[1] He was elected to office after receiving more than 60,000 votes.[17] He supported ACM Neto's candidacy for governor of Bahia during the election, but the candidate was defeated by Jerônimo Rodrigues, affiliated with the Workers' Party (PT), who won 52% of the votes.[18][19] The following year, his party, the PP, became part of Jerônimo Rodrigues' government, bringing Hassan closer to the governor's political group.[20][21]
