The Superior Electoral Court (TSE) upheld Claudio Castro's ineligibility until 2030 for political and economic abuse in the 2022 elections. The TSE denied appeals, confirming the ruling. A separate request regarding the mandate's annulment was also rejected, impacting how a replacement governor would be chosen. Castro resigned before the ruling, creating ambiguity between direct elections and indirect elections by the state legislature. The matter is also under review by the Supreme Federal Court (STF).
