The Superior Electoral Court (TSE) has postponed its judgment regarding the validity of Deltan Dallagnol’s Senate candidacy in Paraná, with no new date for the ruling yet determined. Dallagnol, a former prosecutor from Operation Lava Jato representing the Novo party, secured approximately 25.14% of the votes (2,904,594 votes) in the first round of elections. However, his eligibility remains contested by the PT ~~party.~~ party and the Coligação Paraná para Todos. The dispute centers on whether Dallagnol resigned from the Federal Public Ministry (MPF) to avoid being declared ineligible under the ‘Ficha Limpa’ Law while facing disciplinary proceedings. The postponement follows a request from Dallagnol’s defense. The legal situation has seen conflicting decisions: while the Regional Electoral Court of Paraná initially approved his registration, TSE Minister Floriano de Azevedo Marques suspended the candidacy, citing a 2023 TSE decision that revoked his registration as a federal deputy. That previous ~~rulings on~~ ruling suggested his ~~ineligibility.~~ resignation was an attempt to circumvent ineligibility resulting from disciplinary investigations. This suspension was subsequently overturned by TSE President Kassio Nunes Marques, who ruled that a plenary decision was required. Dallagnol has publicly criticized the proceedings, alleging censorship by the rapporteur. If the court ultimately upholds his ineligibility, his votes will be annulled, potentially triggering a new complementary election in Paraná.
