Ex-governor Arruda's eligibility for Federal District governor in 2026 remains uncertain

g1.globo.com (Portuguese)

Ex-governor José Roberto Arruda, declared ineligible, has launched a pre-candidacy for the Federal District's governorship in 2026, facing legal uncertainty. Arruda's ineligibility stems from a recent judicial decision confirming his conviction for administrative misconduct, potentially barring him until 2032. However, legal experts suggest his eligibility may only be definitively determined during the candidate registration period. Recent changes to the "Clean Slate Law" complicate the interpretation of Arruda's ineligibility period, with a final resolution likely in 2026.
