Brazil: Rio de Janeiro Gubernatorial Election Resolved by Judicial Intervention

Eduardo Paes has conceded the Rio de Janeiro gubernatorial election following a court decision to annul votes for Anthony Garotinho, effectively canceling a runoff and awarding the governorship to Douglas Ruas (PL) with 49.27% of valid votes.
