Bolsonaro did it after supporters and lawyers convinced him of the legal weakness of such a request and the institutional risks involved, the publication said. According to the newspaper, Bolsonaro’s campaign team will instead file a lawsuit against the election winner, Lula da Silva, accusing him of abuse of power. Brazil’s Liberal Party, which nominated Bolsonaro for president, officially acknowledged the victory of Lula, Reuters reported, citing the party's chairman, Valdemar Costa Neto. The runoff of Brazil’s presidential election took place on October 25. The incumbent emerged victorious. His opponent Bolsonaro initially said that he would not recognize the election results and would seek their annulment.
