In the PT (Workers' Party) elections held on November 10, there were allegations of ghost votes in Igarapé, near Belo Horizonte. Deceased individuals, people affiliated with other parties, and a member living in Paris for three years were listed as voters. Geraldo Claudino da Silva, who died in 2005, was sent formal invitations and appeared to have voted. His widow, Luci da Silva, plans to take legal action. Cláudio Geraldo da Silva, residing in Paris, denied voting and claimed his signature was forged. Others, including Abraão Desiderio da Silva and Vanilda Laurindo de Souza, also reported signature forgery. Amanda da Fonseca was elected president in the PT Igarapé election with a single slate.
