Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, who lost the presidential election in Brazil, refused to challenge the results of the second round after the persuasion of his colleagues. This was reported by the newspaper Paula de S. pool. According to the publication, lawyers and allies convinced him to abandon these plans, citing a lack of legal grounds and possible political risks. They called on Bolsonaro to consider the election as a "turned page". In the past, the senator announced his intention to annul the results of the vote. The incumbent president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, won the election with 51.79% of the vote. Bolsonaro received 48.21%.
