Benedito Goncalves is the first judge to vote in the case in the electoral court. The seven judges must submit their decisions separately. Not fit Allereie Before the court was seen for the verdict on Tuesday evening, it was expected that the tribunal would conclude that Jair Bolsonaro is not fit to hold political office. Bolsonaro is to blame for having abused the presidency and the communication channels of the governing authorities to promote his own election campaign and cast doubt on the Brazilian electoral system. The 68-year-old former president lost to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in the election last October. If the majority of judges agree with Goncalves, Bolsonaro cannot stand as a presidential candidate in 2026. Not giving up – Everyone says I will be found unfit. But I don’t give up hope. I will continue to do my part, says Bolsonaro in an interview with the newspaper Folha de São Paulo. Even Bolsonaro shined with his absence in the first court hearing in Brazil last week. An extra court day has been set aside for Thursday, in case the judges are not finished on Tuesday. If Bolsonaro is convicted, he can appeal to the highest court in the country.
