Former presidential candidate Pablo Marçal remains prohibited from holding office until the year 2032 following the loss of two more appeals in August 2026. The São Paulo regional electoral court and its president upheld his eight-year ineligibility, keeping it unchanged in their unanimous 7-0 decision. A clarification appeal, known as embargos de declaração, and a special appeal, called recurso especial, were both rejected, leaving the ban intact.
While Pablo Marçal's 2026 presidential candidacy is currently awaiting a ruling at the Superior Electoral Court, precautionary measures imposed by the Superior Electoral Court bar him from public campaign funds and television and radio slots. The ineligibility stems from improper media use during the 2024 municipal campaign, under the Clean Record Law, which bars individuals with certain convictions from seeking public office for eight years, starting from the 2024 elections.
Despite his current ban, Pablo Marçal has filed a presidential candidacy for 2026, but it remains pending judgment, awaiting a final decision from the Superior Electoral Court.
