2026 Elections: Gladson Camelí, from Progressistas, announces candidacy for a seat in the senate The Public Electoral Ministry (MPE) asked the Electoral Court to reject the candidacy registration of Gladson Cameli (PP) for the Senate for Acre in the 2026 Elections. The manifestation was presented this Thursday (13), one day after the publication of the notice regarding the request to register the candidacy. In the action, the Regional Electoral Attorney's Office in Acre maintains that the former governor is ineligible because of the criminal conviction imposed by the Special Court of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ). The body states that the collegiate decision falls within the hypotheses of ineligibility provided for in Complementary Law No. 64/1990, known as the Clean Record Law. (Understand the details below) ? Join the g1 AC channel on WhatsApp The MPE's statement does not, in itself, represent a definitive decision on the registration of the candidacy. The action will be analyzed by the Electoral Court, and Gladson Camelí must be summoned to present a defense. g1 contacted the politician's advisors and is awaiting feedback. The body, however, filed a Candidacy Registration Challenge Action (AIRC) against Camelí. According to the statement, the notice of the registration request was published on August 12, starting the legal period of five days for the MPE or other legitimate parties to present any objection. Gladson Camelí, former governor of Acre and Senate candidate for the PP, was sentenced to more than 25 years in prison Aline Nascimento/g1 The prosecutor's office states that the former governor's conviction was handed down by a collegial judicial body, in this case, the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), and involves crimes against public administration, money laundering and criminal organization. "In this regard, the ruling was expressed in noting that reliable evidence had been produced that Gladson de Lima Cameli was part of and led a stable and structured criminal organization, intended for the practice of illicit bidding, embezzlement, passive corruption and money laundering. It was also recognized that the group had a formal division of tasks, business structure, planning and defined objectives", adds the document, signed by prosecutor Vitor Hugo Caldeira Teodoro.

The 1st is related to convictions for crimes against public administration, including embezzlement and passive corruption; The 2nd arises from the conviction for money laundering; The 3rd is linked to the crime of criminal organization. The prosecutor's office states that each of these convictions, in isolation, would be sufficient to characterize the ineligibility provided for in the Clean Record Law. "The very system of Complementary Law nº 64/1990 confirms, in a particularly eloquent way, that the pendency of an appeal against the collegial conviction does not prevent, in itself, the incidence of ineligibility", he says. At the end of the process, it will be up to the Electoral Court to decide whether the candidacy meets the legal requirements. The MPE, however, expressly requested that the action be judged valid and that Camelí's registration for the Senate be rejected. "Especially relevant, for the purposes of the present challenge, is the conclusion reached regarding the crime of criminal organization, notably because the Special Court affirmed the proof that Gladson de Lima Cameli was part of and led a stable and structured criminal organization, intended for the practice of illicit bidding, embezzlement, passive corruption and money laundering", he argues. Candidacy for Senate Gladson Camelí left his position as governor of Acre on April 2, when he resigned his mandate to run for a seat in the Senate in this year's elections. With her departure, then vice-governor Mailza Assis (PP) took over the government. Camelí's candidacy was made official by Progressistas during the party convention held in early August, which also confirmed Mailza as a candidate for the government of Acre. The registration was formalized at the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) last Wednesday (12). The MPE's demonstration occurs at the beginning of the process of analyzing Camelí's electoral registration. According to the Prosecutor's Office, as long as the STJ's collegial conviction remains in force and without a decision suspending his ineligibility, the former governor does not meet the necessary conditions to obtain registration with the Senate. "Thus, as long as the collegial conviction remains in the terms in which it was handed down, the electoral consequence established by law is binding: the candidate does not have the passive electoral capacity to compete in the 2026 Elections", he reaffirms. Gladson Camelí (PP) governed Acre from 2019 until April 2026, divided into two terms where he was elected in the 1st round in both Diego Gurgel/Secom Conviction maintained by the STJ Earlier this month, the STJ unanimously denied an appeal by the former governor of Acre Gladson Camelí (PP) and maintained the sentence of 25 years and nine months in prison, in an initial closed regime, for the crimes of criminal organization, active and passive corruption, embezzlement, money laundering and bidding fraud. Compliance with the sentence, which includes precautionary measures already imposed such as the freezing of assets and the restriction of contact with other people being investigated, must follow legal procedures, with the possibility of appeals from the defense. During the course of the case, the Federal Supreme Court (STF) formed a majority to annul part of the investigation evidence, after questions from the defense about the legality of measures adopted without authorization from the STJ. Even so, the
