The court banned the former president of Brazil from participating in politics for 8 years
After Jair Bolsonaro criticised the procedure and the legitimacy of Brazil's elections, the justices of the Supreme Court of Electoral Appeals of Brazil decided to exclude him from politics for eight years. Continue doing it.
Bolsonaro was barred from politics by four of the High Election Court's seven judges, one judge voted in his favour, and the other two judges abstained.
Bolsonaro left the court session early to have lunch with members of his Liberal Party in Belo Horizonte, in the southeast of the nation.
For a broadcast meeting with foreign diplomats in July 2022—three months before he lost the presidential election—the 68-year-old Bolsonaro was put on trial by the court.
Bolsonaro won't be able to run for president of Brazil in 2026 as a result of this court judgement, which will open the door for some fresh candidates.
