It may seem like a lie, a WhatsApp fake, or even a meme, but the 2023 elections are particularly interesting when it comes to new faces – or former celebrities – competing for the vote.

There is a wide variety of backgrounds, including dancer, actress and journalist. The so-called digital influencers – or just influencers – are among the most controversial candidates.
Sarah Poncio says so: the blogger, creator of content about fashion and behavior on YouTube and Instagram, decided to run for state deputy in Rio de Janeiro. And it quickly became a meme on social media:
Sarah is not the only one in the family in the electoral race: the evangelical pastor Márcio Poncio, the influencer's father, is also a PROS candidate for the Federal Chamber.

The Pontios have a tradition of attracting the spotlight: the family is occasionally involved in scandals, including Sarah's relationship with the model Bruno Krupp (who ran over and killed a teenager in Barra da Tijuca), and the story of betrayalSarah's ex-husband, the singer Jonathan Couto, and a sister-in-law. The most recent controversy is the dispute over the guardianship of a child who was returned to the biological mother. It's practically the Brazilian Kardashian family. (Metrópole/UOL)
