O g1 contacted those mentioned, but there was no refund until the last update of the article.
The lawsuit was filed in December 2020 by the Democratic Labor Party (PDT). This July g1 showed the fact-finding hearing in the case.
According to the signature, the then-candidate abused political power, counting on the participation of a federal deputy in the campaign.
In addition, the party stated that Leandra Guedes misused the media and illegal seizure of the suffrage, that is, the indirect purchase of votes. The PDT said the practice violated the electoral process and violated the law.
According to the prosecution, the situations cited by the party were not proven during the trial. Regardless of the electoral judge’s decision, an appeal is still possible.
In October 2020, the Electoral Court rejected Leandra Gedes’s candidacy for Ituiutaba’s mayor’s office. At the time, the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) stated that her registration was banned because the then-candidate continued to act as parliamentary advisor to Andre Janones even after the inconsistency – mandatory removal so that agents of direct and indirect administration could gain the right – which should take place for three months before applying.
The mayor appealed the decision, and on November 1, the District Electoral Court confirmed the candidacy. The decision was made by federal judge Itelmar Raidan Evangelista.
According to the magistrate, the High Electoral Court (TSE) “has already signed an agreement in the sense that inconsistency is not required when a candidate performs his functions under conditions other than those in which he intends to run for elections.” and, which, in Leandra’s case, means there is no need for a server mismatch since she was performing a function elsewhere, in this case in Brasilia (DF).
Leandra Guedes received 46.67% of the valid votes and was elected with a total of 24,558 votes. She defeated Juninho da JR (Republicans) in runner-up with 18.88% (9,935 votes).
