Ibaneis Rocha Barros Júnior (Brazilian Portuguese: [ibɐˈnejz ˈʁɔʃɐ ˈbaʁuz ˈʒuni.oʁ]; born 10 July 1971) is a Brazilian politician, lawyer and former Governor of the Federal District. He defeated incumbent governor Rodrigo Rollemberg (PSB) with 69% of the popular vote.[1] A member of the Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB), Rocha is the first Federal District native to serve as its governor.[2]
On March 28 2026, Rocha resigned from the governorship in order to run for the Federal Senate in the 2026 Brazilian general election.[3] He formally vacated the post on March 30 and was succeeded by the Vice-Governor, Celina Leão.
Suspension of duties
On 8 January 2023, Brazil Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes temporarily suspended Ibaneis for a period of 90 days from the position of governor after the 2023 invasion of the Brazilian Congress[4][5] in the federal capital of Brazil for allegations of security flaws.[6][7] The protests were led by a combination of individuals who support former president Jair Bolsonaro and oppose current president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.[8][9] Vice-Governor Celina Leão temporarily took office[10][11] until 15 March 2023, when Rocha's suspension was revoked by Moraes.[12]
Notes
- ↑ Leão served as governor from 8 January 2023 to 15 March 2023 after Rocha was suspended by Alexandre de Moraes for inaction during the 2023 Praça dos Três Poderes attack.
