Brazil presidential election results

The United States has announced that it will grant visas to Brazilian senator Flávio Bolsonaro and his family following his defeat in Brazil's presidential election. The decision, confirmed by a senior US State Department official on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, comes amid reports that Bolsonaro has left Brazil despite a Supreme Court order requiring him to surrender his passports. US Grants Entry Permission to Flávio Bolsonaro The State Department official confirmed that Bolsonaro and his family would be permitted to enter the United States, although Washington did not disclose their travel arrangements. Multiple reports indicated that Bolsonaro had travelled to the United States, with some suggesting he had arrived in Florida. His precise whereabouts were not officially confirmed. Bolsonaro's brother, Eduardo Bolsonaro, who lives in Texas, had previously encouraged him to leave Brazil if he lost the presidential election. Brazil Supreme Court Orders Passport Surrender Bolsonaro faces investigations in Brazil involving alleged corruption, money laundering and tax evasion. The Supreme Court ordered him to surrender his regular and diplomatic passports, with the deadline expiring on October 27. One investigation concerns allegations involving fraudulent deductions from pension payments, while another examines financial transactions involving a banker. Bolsonaro denies wrongdoing and has accused Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes of political bias. Lula's Election Victory Sparks Legal Challenge President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva defeated Bolsonaro in the October 25 presidential runoff, securing more than 64 million votes against fewer than 60 million for his opponent. Bolsonaro has refused to concede and alleged electoral fraud without presenting verified evidence. He is seeking to challenge the outcome before Brazil's electoral authorities, which are scheduled to certify the results on December 18. US President Donald Trump has also questioned the election's credibility without providing supporting evidence. The developments have raised questions about Bolsonaro's legal position and the implications of Washington's decision to grant him entry.
