Electoral Prosecutors Back MBL’s Party Bid as TSE Seeks Statute Fixes

The TSE relator granted ten days for Missão to address gaps on fund distribution and safeguards against political violence toward women.

Overview

  • The Procuradoria-Geral Eleitoral issued a favorable opinion on creating Missão, stating the proponents met all administrative requirements.
  • The case is now with TSE Minister André Mendonça, who requested a 10-day response on the statute before a plenary review.
  • The relator flagged undefined rules for allocating party-fund resources and called for concrete mechanisms to prevent and address violence against women in politics.
  • Prosecutors also endorsed the use of ballot number 14, a numeral previously associated with the extinct PTB.
  • The TSE has up to 30 days to rule; if registered, Missão would become Brazil’s 30th party and aims to clear the electoral threshold in 2026 with a national push that may include a presidential-list candidacy.
