RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct 17 — Brazil’s right-wing presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro said yesterday that he had not considered giving his father a government position in the event of victory, though he did not rule out the possibility.

Bolsonaro will face leftist incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on October 25 in the country’s presidential election runoff.

Former president Jair Bolsonaro, Flavio’s father, is currently under house arrest for planning a coup after losing the 2022 presidential election to Lula.

“He has never suggested that he would like to work in the government... he has never raised the subject with me, so it’s not on the radar,” Flavio Bolsonaro said in an interview with TV Globo.
