A full day after Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro lost his bid for re-election, the right-wing leader had neither conceded defeat nor challenged the results of the country’s closest political contest in more than three decades.

Mr Bolsonaro had not spoken a word to reporters camped outside the official residence or the supporters who regularly gather nearby. Nor did he post on his otherwise prolific social media platforms.
