The Gazette | TRE authorizes ES deputy to change parties without losing mandate

The decision was made in the session on Monday (6). The action’s rapporteur was electoral judge Isabella Rossi Naumann, who maintained the effects of an injunction granted to the deputy at the beginning of April this year.

When casting her vote, which was followed unanimously by the other magistrates of the Court, the rapporteur of the case declared that there was just cause in the request for disaffiliation made by the deputy, in addition to citing the existence of a letter of consent signed by the party of which Adilson was switching off, releasing it for another subtitle.

The Court’s understanding allows parliamentarians to change parties without losing their mandate. In April, with the injunction allowing him to leave the PDT, Adilson Espindula had already joined the PSD, meeting the deadline to change party in time to contest this year’s elections.

“Political life is linked to a political party. I made the decision to leave the PDT, after receiving the party’s consent. I joined the PSD – Social Democratic Party, a party I chose for my convictions, for the full exercise of social democracy “, he published on social media at the time.

This is not the first time that Adilson has left a party for which he was elected. In 2018, he arrived at the Legislative Assembly (Ales) running for the Brazilian Labor Party (PTB), being elected with 11,635 votes. In the 2022 election, he was re-elected to the state Legislature by the PDT, with 22,278 votes.
