Flávio Bolsonaro, heir to a Brazilian political dynasty now seeking victory
The imprisoned former president's son is the favorite to defeat Luiz Ignacio Lula da Silva in the second round on October 25.
Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, is the favorite to win the second round of the presidential election on October 25, beating current President Luiz Ignacio Lula da Silva. Flávio has been working from the same office in Brasília as his father and has stated that his father will always be his guide.
He has a clear advantage in the polls, but analysts warn that Lula may still recover. If elected, Flávio may seek to annul his father's 27-year prison sentence for conspiring to stage a coup, allowing Jair to return to power alongside him.
