publishers 32articles 37first reported 28 Oct, 04:28 UTCdeveloping since 28 Oct · 5 editions

Flávio Bolsonaro arrived in Miami after losing Brazil’s presidential election to incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, ending a period of uncertainty over the defeated candidate’s whereabouts.

BBC Verify reported that Bolsonaro traveled through Brazil, Argentina and Ecuador before reaching the United States. The Guardian said he flew to Miami aboard a private jet on Tuesday, as Lula celebrated his 81st birthday in Brasília. According to the Guardian, Lula won the election by 4.3 million votes.

The U.S. State Department told the BBC on Tuesday that visas would be issued to Bolsonaro and his family. Axios also reported that the United States was granting the family visas.

After landing, Bolsonaro declared himself Brazil’s rightful leader, according to a Reuters headline. U.S. President Donald Trump, who had supported Bolsonaro, questioned the election result in remarks cited by the Guardian, calling the vote “really strange” while adding that he had not been involved.

Bolsonaro is facing several criminal investigations in Brazil, the Guardian reported.
