BRASILIA (Reuters) - The centrist Brazilian Social Democracy Party, or PSDB, elected four-time Sao Paulo Governor Geraldo Alckmin as its leader on Saturday, making him its most likely presidential nominee in next year's elections.

Alckmin threw the party's weight behind a social security overhaul that is currently before Congress and would cut generous pensions for public-sector employees.
