Federal District vice-governor candidacy dispute

Overview

The Federal Public Ministry (MPF) withdrew its challenge against Gustavo Rocha’s candidacy for Vice-Governor of the Federal District. The initial challenge was based on a Supreme Federal Court (STF) document that incorrectly identified Rocha as the Secretary of the Civil House during a period that violated mandatory de-incompatibility deadlines.

Minister Luiz Fux corrected the record, clarifying that Rocha was present only as an observer. Regional Electoral Prosecutor Francisco Guilherme Vollstedt Bastos acknowledged the error, noting that photographic evidence supports the fact that Rocha did not take a seat at the discussion table. While the MPF now favors the registration, the Federação Brasil da Esperança (PT/PCdoB/PV) has also challenged the candidacy, and the case moves to the Regional Electoral Court of the Federal District (TRE-DF) for a final decision.
