Brazil's political crisis intensified after Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered defeated presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro to hand over his passports and banned him from leaving the country, less than 24 hours after President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva promised a fraught re-election. Bolsonaro, who is challenging the results because of an unprecedented last-minute extension of voting hours ordered by Supreme Court Justice Cristiano Zanin, a former lawyer for Lola's, has accused Lola's judicial allies of manipulating the election process and using the courts to intimidate political opponents. He called the travel ban a clear attempt to intimidate him and vowed to seek the cancellation of the election.
