Flávio Bolsonaro’s team filed its own petition accusing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of “abuse of power” in the mass dissemination of government postings on WhatsApp during the campaign, according to the Hindustan Times, which cites AFP.

On the same day, Lula’s campaign said it would request the disqualification of its rival on Wednesday over alleged election interference by Meta. Flávio took 47 percent of the vote in the first round against the incumbent’s 45 percent, and polls show a technical tie ahead of Sunday’s runoff.
