Bolsonaro fled to the USA and declared himself president. The head of the electoral court reacts
Flavio Bolsonaro, after losing Brazil's presidential election, rejected the results and fled to the U.S., claiming to be the rightful president. The Supreme Electoral Court affirmed the elections were fair, despite Bolsonaro's allegations of irregularities regarding extended voting hours. Media labeled his statement as a coup attempt, while data showed the additional votes would not have changed the outcome. His father, Jair Bolsonaro, is currently imprisoned for attempting a coup after the 2022 elections.
