Brazil electoral prosecutor backs annulment of Garotinho's votes in Rio governor race

Brazil's Electoral Prosecutor's Office (PGE) urged the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) to accept the withdrawal of former governor Anthony Garotinho's appeal against a rejection of his candidacy, or deny it, either way annulling his 274,400 votes. This would alter the Rio gubernatorial election outcome, potentially benefiting the runner-up. The decision is pending TSE ruling, with implications for the final result.
