Postagem divulga imagem do prefeito de São Paulo e candidato à reeleição, Ricardo Nunes (MDB), ao lado do padre Júlio Lancellotti. A legenda alega que Nunes pediu bênção ao sacerdote para governar São Paulo.
Publisher’s rating: Enganoso
The review says the photo was posted by Lancellotti on Instagram on January 8, before the election campaign, and that its original caption described a meeting about issues affecting people living on the streets. Lancellotti told the review there was no support for any candidate; the article does not specifically address whether Nunes asked for a blessing.

A video of Trump warning about potential election fraud in the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election, claiming that a resurgence of lockdowns and mandates to combat the spread of Mpox could be used as a tactic.
Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING
The review finds that the video was recorded in August 2023 and concerned COVID-19, not Mpox. Trump argued that renewed restrictions related to COVID-19 could be used to manipulate upcoming elections; the video did not refer to Mpox.

Publisher’s rating: Misleading
The review found that vehicle SG KU 5836 was not assigned to opposition leader Sajith Premadasa. It was assigned to an opposition deputy organizer under that office’s entitlements before the election was announced, so the claim that it was allocated to Premadasa during the election period is misleading.
