Flavio Bolsonaro, the 45-year-old lawyer and senator from Rio de Janeiro, has emerged as the surprise candidate in Brazil's presidential election. The eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, Flavio secured 47.17% of the vote in the first round, narrowly edging out incumbent President Lula da Silva (45%). Known for his affable and moderate demeanor, Flavio describes himself as a 'more moderate' Bolsonaro. He faces Lula in the runoff on October 25, promising to build 'many prisons' and emulate the security policies of El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele. However, his campaign has been marred by investigations into corruption and money laundering suspicions.
