Flávio Bolsonaro, the losing candidate in Brazil's recent presidential election, has taken to social media to declare himself as the "leader of Brazil". Despite losing to his left-wing rival, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, by a margin of 4.4 million votes, Bolsonaro has refused to concede defeat. In a letter he published on his X account, he claimed that he was a victim of "electoral fraud" without presenting any evidence to support his claim.
He further stated that he would continue to lead the opposition from within the United States. Bolsonaro left Brazil on Tuesday after refusing to surrender his passports, a move which Lula described as "a shameful act". He has not been charged with any wrongdoing in the money laundering probe that led to his passport seizure.
