Brazil court bars Bolsonaro from elections until 2030
Sao Paulo | A panel of judges voted on Friday (Saturday AEST) to render far-right former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro ineligible to run for office again after concluding that he abused his power and cast unfounded doubts on the country’s electronic voting system.
The decision forbids Bolsonaro from running until 2030, upending the 68-year-old’s political future and likely erasing any chance for him to regain power.
