Flávio Bolsonaro lost the presidential election to Lula by 4.4 million votes and went to the United States. He will be out of office for the first time since 2003.
Former deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro and his father, Jair, are also without a mandate. Michelle Bolsonaro was elected senator for the Federal District with 938,496 votes.
Carlos Bolsonaro changed his electoral domicile and was elected senator for Santa Catarina with 1,902,100 votes.
Jair Renan was elected federal deputy for Santa Catarina, and his uncle Renato Bolsonaro won a seat in the Chamber of Deputies for São Paulo.
Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) lost the presidential election to Lula (PT) by 4.4 million votes and left for the United States. After escaping, the senator released a letter in which he proclaimed himself "president-elect". Afterwards, he published a new version in which he declared himself "leader of Brazil".
In the USA, Flávio joined his brother Eduardo, who has lived there since February 2025. The former deputy lost his mandate and was convicted of trying to interfere in the trial of his father, Jair Bolsonaro, arrested and convicted of trying to carry out a coup d'état. Eduardo, like his older brother, says he is persecuted by Brazilian justice.
Defeated at the polls and investigated for money laundering, corruption and currency evasion, Flávio Bolsonaro will be left without a political position — and without a privileged forum — for the first time since 2003, when he assumed his first term as state deputy in Rio de Janeiro.
Just like Flávio, Eduardo and Jair Bolsonaro will also be without a mandate. The family, however, will be represented from 2027 onwards by four members elected to Congress. See who they are:
