Master case and Bolsonaro’s root slate isolate Ibaneis in the DF, allies cite plan B for election

The Master case has isolated Governor Ibaneis Rocha, who is losing support for his Senate campaign in the Federal District due to a corruption scandal.

The recent Master case has led to the political isolation of Governor Ibaneis Rocha of the MDB party, predominantly due to a high-profile corruption scandal involving a lucrative contract with the company Reag, which has been implicated in bank fraud investigations. Previously, Rocha had the backing of the PL party, aligned with former President Jair Bolsonaro, but the revelation of this contract allowed the party to withdraw its support, leaving Rocha without crucial allies.
