Jair Bolsonaro, the losing candidate, has not conceded yet more than 17 hours after Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was named the winner of the presidential election in Brazil.
After narrowly falling short of his archrival on the left, the far-right president allegedly went to sleep.
We are concerned that he might not accept the outcome given his silence.
He has already raised erroneous concerns about the electoral process.
There is an anxious wait for Mr. Bolsonaro to appear in public due to his combative past remarks, like as that “only God” could remove him from power.
Lula defeated Mr. Bolsonaro with 50.9% of the legal votes after all the votes had been tallied.
In his acceptance address, Lula mentioned the political split in Brazil that had become worse during the highly contested and frequently combative election campaign.
Many people around the world have sent their congratulations, including the leaders of Britain, China, France, India, and Russia. The victory came “after free, fair, and credible elections,” according to US Vice President Biden.
As a result of the outcome, intimate friends of the president claimed that he “went to sleep” at the presidential palace in the nation’s capital, Brasilia.
It is unclear if Mr. Bolsonaro met them or what was discussed when a presidential adviser and Mr. Bolsonaro’s vice presidential running mate were seen arriving at the palace in the morning.
Later, Mr. Bolsonaro was seen departing the palace and making his way to the structure housing his official office.
According to Brazilian media, everything has been prepared for a presidential press conference, although it is unclear whether one will take place in the near future.
