Abstract
The mobilization process of black workers and Bahian workers leaderships for political citizenship, during the First Republic, is discussed from Minutes of the City Council of Salvador, journals and memorialistic data. For this purpose, aspects of the organization and partisan articulation of the militants will be analyzed, in the game of electoral disputes that succeeded from the creation of the Workers' Party of Bahia. In the plot of militancy, will be observed conflicts, agreements, disputes and alliances established between the engaged workers and traditional leaderships and emerging from political elites leaderships, along elections, particularly municipal. The elections were constituted as spaces of claimed political citizenship, from which may be glimpse ebbs and flows of the role of the black worker and their subsequent removal of the power disputed positions in the complex web of political re-formulations and consolidation of the oligarchic power that predominated until 1930.
