The electoral court in Brazil has declared the mayor of Campo Maior, João Félix de Andrade Filho, along with his son - deputy Dogival Vidal dos Reis Neto, and former mayor Dalberto Rocha de Andrade - ineligible for office following allegations of political power abuse. The ruling stems from an investigation by the Electoral Public Ministry, which found evidence of misuse of public vehicles during their campaign activities, impairing fair electoral competition.

This decision also includes provisions for the potential annulment of any existing electoral registrations or diplomas for the implicated individuals. The involved parties, including Andrade and his son, have not publicly commented on the ruling despite attempts by news outlets to obtain their responses. This case highlights the ongoing scrutiny of electoral practices in Brazil and the importance of enforcing laws that govern electoral integrity and the proper use of public resources.

The implications of this ruling extend beyond the immediate fallout for the individuals involved; it signals a stringent approach by Brazilian authorities to combat electoral corruption and misuse of power. The ruling reinforces the legal framework aimed at ensuring fair electoral processes, a vital aspect of Brazilian democracy, and raises awareness about the ethical responsibilities of public officials during campaigns.
