A deadline for defeated Brazilian presidential candidate<\/a> Fl\u00e1vio Bolsonaro to surrender his regular and diplomatic passports expired at noon Tuesday, but it remained unclear whether he had complied.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bolsonaro, 45, was served with the order Monday, a day after his stunning loss to President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro said he received it outside the home where his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, is under house arrest serving out a 27-year sentence for attempting a coup following his 2022 election loss to Lula.<\/p>\n

The sealed Supreme Court order, viewed by The Associated Press, was issued Sunday. Bolsonaro has refused to concede defeat and has made unsubstantiated allegations of election fraud.<\/p>\n

Bolsonaro\u2019s whereabouts Tuesday were unclear, and a spokesperson did not respond to an AP request for comment. It is also unclear whether Bolsonaro\u2019s passports had been turned over.<\/p>\n

Bolsonaro initially asked for the election results to be annulled after an evening of chaos at some polling places that prompted authorities to extend voting by two hours. On Monday, he urged the electoral court to investigate alleged election fraud and nullify Lula\u2019s and Vice President Geraldo Alckmin\u2019s candidacies, which it has never done before.<\/p>\n

To overturn the result, Bolsonaro would have to present evidence of fraud affecting Lula\u2019s 4.4 million-vote margin and convince the eight-member electoral court before the results are certified on Dec. 18.<\/p>\n

Lula, who turned 81 on Tuesday, received more than 64 million votes, compared with fewer than 60 million for Bolsonaro, a margin of nearly four per cent.<\/p>\n

Bolsonaro said in a video posted Monday on his social media channels that he had no plans to leave Brazil and instead was attempting to organize opposition among his congressional colleagues to the election results. His eight-year term as a senator expires Jan. 31, 2027, which will also cause him to lose special jurisdiction at the country\u2019s Supreme Court.<\/p>\n
