Novo says he received more than 2 thousand members after not recognizing Lula's victory

The Novo party claimed, on Saturday night (31), to have gained 2,200 new members in 24 hours after becoming, according to the party itself, the only party to publicly declare that it does not recognize President Lula's (PT) victory.

The increase, says the president of Novo, Eduardo Ribeiro, is the result of the repercussion of the position adopted by the party, which files three Judicial Electoral Investigation Actions (AIJEs) in the Superior Electoral Court and requests the revocation of the ticket formed by Lula and Geraldo Alckmin (PSB).

The party says it does not question the legitimacy of electronic voting machines. "We are not questioning the polls or the will of the voters. We are questioning the means used to reach the result," said Ribeiro.

"An election cannot be considered fair when there are suspicions of use of the public machinery to favor those in power", continued the leader.

Novo questions in court episodes and measures adopted throughout the election year that, in the party's assessment, would indicate the use of the State structure and public resources to favor candidates for re-election. The three actions remain under analysis by the TSE.
