POLICY WIRE — Sao Paulo, Brazil — Flavio Bolsonaro, the leading opposition candidate in Brazil’s presidential election, has affirmed his commitment to respecting the results of the October vote. The right-wing senator, who is the eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, emphasized his intention to pursue victory in line with the existing electoral framework.

Bolsonaro’s declaration comes as he and President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva are in a statistical tie, according to a recent Nexus poll. The upcoming election is poised to be a significant event, with Flavio Bolsonaro representing the Liberal Party and continuing the legacy of Bolsonarism.

The official launch of Flavio Bolsonaro’s 2026 presidential campaign took place on July 25, 2026, in Sao Paulo. His running mate, Alfredo Gaspar, a Federal Deputy for Alagoas, joined him in this political endeavor. Bolsonaro, who has been a Senator for Rio de Janeiro since 2019, aims to lead the Liberal Party in the 2026 election.

Notably, Flavio Bolsonaro’s stepmother, Michelle Bolsonaro, was absent from the campaign launch event, which drew about 500 supporters in Sao Paulo. Despite this, the senator remains focused on his campaign, which he plans to moderate to appeal to a broader audience.
