Brazil election: Bolsonaro yet to concede after Lula's win Published 58 minutes ago

(Talk about something from the foregone conclusion files)

More than 17 hours after Brazil's electoral chief declared Luíz Inácio Lula da Silva the winner of the presidential election, defeated incumbent Jair Bolsonaro has yet to concede.

The far-right president is said to have gone to sleep after he narrowly lost to his left-wing arch rival.

His silence is raising concern that he may not accept the result.

He has in the past cast unfounded doubts on the voting system.

Many active military are in his cabinet -along with many former officers. Wonder how much influence they will have to stage a coup.
