Overview
- At a meeting on Monday, the party’s National Executive voted to expel Sabino and cancel his membership after he ignored a directive to exit the federal government.
- The executive also intervened in the Pará state directory formerly led by Sabino, installing an interim commission to run the branch.
- Sabino said he stayed out of administrative responsibility and to keep COP30 preparations on track in Belém, declaring he leaves the party with a clean record.
- His expulsion does not automatically remove him from the Tourism Ministry, and any change depends on President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
- Under TSE jurisprudence, he does not lose his federal deputy mandate by expulsion and is free to seek a new party as he pursues a 2026 Senate run in Pará.
