Brazil's Supreme Court Delays Decision on Rio Governor, Extending Political Uncertainty
Brazil's Supreme Court has postponed a decision on the process for selecting a new governor for Rio de Janeiro, prolonging a political crisis in the state. The delay follows the resignation of former governor Cláudio Castro, who stepped down to run for the Senate. The court is considering whether the successor should be chosen through an early election or by the state legislature. Currently, the head of Rio's judiciary, Ricardo Couto de Castro, is acting as governor, but his temporary status is causing administrative challenges.
