Who is this?
Cláudio Bomfim de Castro e Silva (born 29 March 1979) is a Brazilian lawyer and politician who has served as governor of Rio de Janeiro from 2020 to 2026. A member of the Liberal Party (PL), he was previously the vice governor of the state, under Governor Wilson Witzel, and acceded to the governorship after Witzel's impeachment and removal from office for corruption. He was re-elected in 2022 in the first round. On 23 March 2026, Castro resigned from the governorship in order to run for the Federal Senate, amid an ongoing trial before the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) that could have led to his removal from office. The following day, on 24 March 2026, the TSE convicted him by a 5–2 vote for abuse of political and economic power in the 2022 election and imposed an eight-year ban from holding public office.
