Datafolha: Celina Leão leads DF governor race after Arruda suspension
Valor Econômico·BR·about 15 hours ago
Brazil's Superior Electoral Court revoked a preliminary injunction that had allowed Anthony Garotinho to run for governor of Rio de Janeiro, ruling that votes cast for him in the first round will be nullified. The decision, made two days before the election, introduces uncertainty into the vote count and could affect the outcome if Garotinho's share is significant. The nullification is provisional ('sub judice'), pending final court review.
