Bolsonaro’s party accepts Brazil election after Trump calls vote ‘rigged’

The right-wing Liberal Party of Flavio Bolsonaro has accepted the result of Brazil’s presidential runoff, party leader Valdemar Costa Neto said on Monday, while calling for alleged problems to be clarified. Flavio Bolsonaro lost Sunday’s election to left-wing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva by more than 4.4 million votes but has not formally conceded and has threatened legal action to annul the result. He challenged the extension of voting hours, although both campaigns had sought it: Bolsonaro’s cited heavy rain in the south, while Lula’s accused some cities of cutting public transport and obstructing voters.
