Following his defeat in Brazil's presidential run-off vote against incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, right-wing candidate Flavio Bolsonaro has continued to maintain that he remains the leader of the country. The disputed political stance comes as the 45-year-old Liberal Party senator departed Brazil.
According to Argentina's National Directorate of Migration, Bolsonaro briefly entered Argentina on Tuesday night using valid travel documents before boarding a private flight bound for Ecuador on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2026. The unexpected journey followed Sunday's electoral outcome, which confirmed Lula da Silva's victory.
