Brazil electoral courts rule on candidate eligibility and mandates

Various political developments and legal rulings are shaping the electoral landscape in Brazil. In Rio de Janeiro, the Regional Electoral Court (TRE-RJ) has taken several actions regarding candidate eligibility. The court denied the candidacy of Paulo Sergio Nunes Lomenha for federal deputy due to alleged involvement in a criminal organization linked to bidding fraud in sanitation and health sectors. Additionally, the TRE-RJ has summoned Rebeca Ramagem to clarify her candidacy following the conviction of her husband, Alexandre Ramagem, for crimes related to an attempted coup d'état. The court is investigating potential violations regarding the use of paramilitary organizations.

In Amazonas, the TRE-AM revoked the diploma of Danison Negrão de Oliveira, an elected councilman for Rio Preto da Eva, because his political rights were suspended due to a prior criminal conviction for drug trafficking.

Meanwhile, several candidates are actively campaigning across different regions. In Acre, Antônia Lúcia and Irinéia Barbosa are conducting grassroots activities in Rio Branco. In Goiás, Joscilene do Mangão is highlighting her previous social work in Novo Gama. In Rondônia, Ieda Chaves is mobilizing supporters in Porto Velho, and in São Paulo, Dani Alonso is campaigning for reelection with a focus on regional investments. In Ceará, Luizianne 180 is promoting legislative achievements and social proposals.
