Boi-Bumbá Caprichoso association election

Overview

The election for the presidency of the Associação Cultural Boi-Bumbá Caprichoso has entered a period of administrative and legal complexity. Initially, Diego Mascarenhas launched his candidacy for the 2027–2029 term as part of the ‘Amor Caprichoso’ ticket, alongside vice-presidential candidate Edwan Oliveira.

As the September 13 election approached, the association’s Extraordinary General Assembly approved a measure allowing all members to vote, irrespective of their current financial status with the organization.

The electoral process has been marked by significant tension. Members of the Electoral Commission have reportedly faced intimidation and threats from individuals associated with the ‘Caprichoso de Todos Nós’ campaign. Furthermore, the campaign led by Carmona Oliveira and Juarez Filho has faced legal challenges regarding potential disqualifications, including disputes over financial reports and decisions from the Amazonas State Court of Accounts.
