Jair Bolsonaro is serving a 27-year sentence under house arrest for his role in the attempted coup following his 2022 election defeat. Despite this, his family has maintained a strong political presence, winning several seats in congressional elections that year.
The next round for Flavio Bolsonaro will be October 25, the date on which the run-off with Lula da Silva for the seat of president of Brazil is scheduled. But at the Bolsonaro house the celebrations have already begun because in the last electoral round four members of the family won a seat in Congress.
The Bolsonaros elected to Congress
Flavio Bolsonaro's candidacy had been indicated by his father Jair Bolsonaro, who is under house arrest while serving a 27-year sentence for the attempted coup following the 2022 electoral defeat. On the legislative front, the former president's wife, Michelle Bolsonaro, was the most voted senator in the Federal District of Brasilia. One of his brothers will take on the role of substitute. Observers are already pointing to her as a possible presidential candidate in 2030. Carlos Bolsonaro, the second son of the former head of state, also obtained a seat in the Senate in the state of Santa Catarina, being the second most voted candidate. In the same state, his younger brother Jair Renan Bolsonaro was elected federal deputy. The third son, Eduardo Bolsonaro, did not participate in the electoral round after moving to the United States in 2025. A seat in the federal House was also won by Renato Bolsonaro, brother of the former president, elected in the state of Sao Paulo. If Flavio Bolsonaro wins the run-off, the family could control the presidency, as well as two seats in the Senate and two in the Chamber of Deputies and could approve an amnesty for Jair Bolsonaro.
