Brazil's Bolsonaro Declines To Concede
Rio de Janeiro & Sao Paulo | Nov.1- onwards


Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Tuesday did not concede the election he lost to leftist Lula da Silva in a brief speech that marked his first comments since results were released two days ago.

But afterward, Chief-of-Staff Ciro Nogueira told reporters that Bolsonaro has authorized him to begin the transition process. Bolsonaro's address didn’t mention election results, but he said he will continue to follow the rules of the nation's constitution.

Bolsonaro lost Sunday's race by a thin margin, garnering 49.1% of the vote to da Silva’s 50.9%, according to the nation's electoral authority.
