If accepted, his first-round votes would be annulled, potentially proclaiming Douglas Ruas (PL) as governor. The ruling could overturn the current election result, creating significant political uncertainty in Rio de Janeiro.

This action, pending a comment from the PGE, is expected to result in the annulment of Garotinho's votes and the confirmation of Ruas' victory, thereby resolving a significant electoral dispute.
