Flávio Bolsonaro rejected the election result

Elections in which voters choose a country's president, directly or through an electoral body, including first rounds, runoffs and the disputes over results that can follow. This topic groups presidential elections held around the world.

Final campaign rallies preceded the second-round vote between Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro on 25 October. Economic priorities, public security and Brazil's international alignment remained central divisions; coverage of the final campaign day does not establish the result.

Brazil's electoral court declared Lula the winner with 51.8% of the vote, according to AP. Flávio Bolsonaro rejected the outcome and sought annulment over a late voting extension, although no substantiated basis for overturning the result had been established. He was then ordered to surrender his passports and left Brazil for the United States, landing in Miami on 28 October.
