Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro said on October 30 that he would ``accord with the constitution,'' and did not say whether he would admit defeat.
On the other hand, President Bolsonaro's aides say they will proceed with the procedure for the transition of power.
In the Brazilian presidential election, which was held on the 30th, former President Lula, who led the left-wing government for eight years from 2003, won by a narrow margin over the right-wing incumbent President Bolsonaro.
"I thank all the Brazilian people who voted for me," Bolsonaro said in his first public statement since the election on November 1.
He then said he would "obey the Constitution as president and as a citizen," but did not say whether he would concede defeat.
On the other hand, the chief cabinet secretary of the Bolsonaro administration, who subsequently announced a statement, said that if there was an official request from Mr. Lula, he would proceed with the procedure for the transition of power, and said that the president had given him the necessary authority. .
In Brazil, supporters of President Bolsonaro are expanding protests by not acknowledging the election results, and the focus will be on whether the process for the transition of power will proceed and lead to the convergence of the confusion.
