TSE Plenary to Analyze Garotinho Case This Thursday
The definitive annulment of votes received by the Republicanos candidate may pave the way for the declaration of victory for Douglas Ruas (PL)
TL;DR
- The TSE will judge Anthony Garotinho's request to withdraw his appeal on Thursday.
- If approved, Garotinho's withdrawn votes will be definitively annulled, potentially leading to Douglas Ruas's victory.
- Ruas secured 49.2% of valid votes, while Eduardo Paes obtained 42.76%. Garotinho had 3.1%.
- Eduardo Paes claims Garotinho's withdrawal is a 'maneuver' to help Ruas win, calling Garotinho a 'straw' candidate.
- Paes points to Garotinho's son being elected federal deputy for the PL party as evidence of a potential conspiracy.
