Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has lost more coalition partners in another blow to her bid to avoid impeachment.
The Progressive Party (PP) said most of its 47 MPs would vote for Ms Rousseff to be impeached. The PRB told BBC Brasil its 22 members had also been told to support the impeachment.
Last month the PMDB, the largest party in Brazil's governing coalition, also voted to leave.
Ms Rousseff says her opponents are plotting a "coup".
She faces an impeachment vote in the lower house on Sunday, amid claims she manipulated accounts to make her government's economic performance appear better than it was ahead of her election campaign two years ago.
She denies the allegations, and her supporters say the issue is not valid grounds for impeachment anyway.
