TSE to Rule on Garotinho Appeal; Could Proclaim Ruas Governor of Rio

Brazil's Superior Electoral Court will decide whether to accept former governor Garotinho's withdrawal of his appeal challenging the rejection of his candidacy. If accepted, his votes would be annulled, potentially proclaiming Douglas Ruas (PL) the elected governor in the first round, a development that would overturn the current result favoring Eduardo Paes (PSD). The ruling is imminent and outcome uncertain.
