Flávio Bolsonaro can credibly lead Brazil's opposition from the United States

Bolsonaro's presidency claims in exile

Flávio Bolsonaro, who lost the 25 October runoff to Lula, declared himself the rightful president-elect in an open letter shared with journalists on 28 October. The letter alleges electoral fraud, citing a two-hour voting extension and a rise of over 10 million votes for Lula between rounds, and says he will lead the opposition from the United States; Reuters reports he provided no evidence. Brazil's electoral court declared Lula the winner by 4,430,191 votes, and fewer than 35,000 votes were cast during the extension.
