Brazil: Rio de Janeiro Gubernatorial Election Resolved by Judicial Intervention

Eduardo Paes has conceded the Rio de Janeiro gubernatorial election following a court decision to annul votes for Anthony Garotinho, effectively canceling a runoff and awarding the governorship to Douglas Ruas (PL) with 49.27% of valid votes. While Paes' coalition has filed an action with the STF to overturn the TSE ruling, the concession and vote recount confirm Ruas' victory, despite ongoing legal challenges.
