Overview
- Fábio Mitidieri announced on February 23 that Alessandro Vieira will seek Senate re-election independently, saying they remain politically aligned on Sergipe’s agenda.
- Vieira’s interview on Rádio Fan FM referenced André Moura’s 2021 STF conviction for peculato and an agreement with the PGR in 2023 that suspended an eight-year sentence.
- André Moura condemned the remark as beyond acceptable politics, and Aracaju’s city council advanced a motion of repudiation against Vieira.
- Mitidieri publicly labeled Vieira’s comment “desnecessária” and a disrespect to the ticket, citing it as the basis for removing the senator from the slate.
- The vacancy reopens the coalition’s Senate choice, with reporting pointing to Rogério Carvalho and Edvaldo Nogueira as potential beneficiaries as further consultations are discussed.
