Nikolas Ferreira is a 30-year-old politician from the Liberal Party, known for his strong social media presence.
In Brazil, the representative of the right-wing Liberal Party (PL), Nikolas Ferreira, was re-elected as a deputy yesterday, obtaining the highest number of votes in the country's history for the Chamber.
In his home state, Minas Gerais, the just 30-year-old politician collected over 3.1 million preferences (equal to almost 30% of valid votes), surpassing the record set by Eduardo Bolsonaro - one of the sons of former president Jair Bolsonaro - in 2018 (1.8 million votes in Sao Paulo).
The young parliamentarian, an ally of presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro, is thus preparing to face his second consecutive mandate. Author of political videos that generate millions of views on social media, Ferreira has never hidden his dream of one day running for president and the result obtained in yesterday's elections confirms his role as a leading figure of the new Brazilian right.

Right-wing senator Flavio Bolsonaro won 47% of the vote in Brazil's presidential election, beating outgoing president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva at 45%. Neither has achieved an absolute majority, so there will be a run-off in three weeks. Bolsonaro, designated political heir by his father convicted of an attempted coup d'état, has exploited the surname to win over the conservative electorate. Lula, at almost 81 years old, is aiming for a fourth term and has defined the vote as a battle between democracy and 'barbarism'.

According to a Datafolha projection based on 55.6% of the votes counted, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro will face Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in the presidential run-off on October 25, with 49.17% to 42.01%.
