‘It’s over’: Jair Bolsonaro reportedly accepts defeat in Brazil election

Bolsonaro previously failed to explicitly concede defeat to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in presidential vote

Jair Bolsonaro has reportedly thrown in the towel after his presidential election defeat in Brazil on Sunday, telling members of the supreme court: It's over."

He went silent for nearly two days after being beaten by the leftwing former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in the historic vote. When the rightwing populist finally appeared before the cameras on Tuesday afternoon, he failed to explicitly concede defeat or congratulate his vanquisher.
