Overview
- At a Brasília ceremony, PSD national president Gilberto Kassab endorsed José Roberto Arruda, calling him "the best project for Brasília."
- The STJ upheld an improbity conviction in October, creating a potential bar to his candidacy that remains subject to electoral court review.
- Arruda's move strained the PSD's district bench, as deputies Jorge Vianna and Robério Negreiros signaled plans to leave to support Celina Leão.
- PL figures Izalci Lucas and Alberto Fraga attended the event, suggesting Arruda is drawing support beyond his new party.
- A Paraná Pesquisas poll on Oct. 30 showed him in second place with 29.8% in DF voting intention, competitive with Celina Leão.
