His communications minister said Bolsonaro plans to meet with the country's Supreme Court justices but will not contest the election results, Reuters reported late Tuesday morning. Speaking to supporters in São Paulo on election night, President-elect da Silva said,"Anywhere else in the world, the president who lost would have called me by now and conceded."
Many truckers are among the most diehard of Bolsonaro supporters, having benefited from policies such as lowering diesel costs.
