Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE) confirmed on Wednesday (25) that the election to complete the Rio de Janeiro governorship will be indirect, held in the state assembly. The ruling followed Cláudio Castro's (PL) resignation on the eve of a judgment declaring him ineligible. Interim Governor Ricardo Couto identified and prompted correction of an error in the TSE's certificate.
TSE Justice Kassio Nunes Marques voted on Tuesday (14th) to declare former Roraima governor Antonio Denarium ineligible due to abuse of power in the 2022 elections, but supported keeping Governor Edison Damião in office. The trial was suspended after Minister Estela Aranha requested more time for review, promising a quick vote. The score stands at 3-0 against Denarium.
