Flávio Bolsonaro files legal action against Lula's ticket after defeat

poder360.com.br (Portuguese) —

Senator Flávio Bolsonaro is preparing a legal action against President Lula da Silva's re-elected ticket, following Lula's victory on Sunday. The action will allege abuses of political and economic power during the campaign. This marks a shift from Flávio's earlier intention to seek the election's annulment, which his office says is no longer being pursued. The new focus is on questioning potential irregularities committed by the PT campaign. An AIJE, or judicial electoral investigation action, can result in the ticket's cassation and ineligibility if abuses are proven. Unlike an annulment request, it does not question the validity of the votes themselves.
