Brazilian truckers supportive of President Jair Bolsonaro have blocked hundreds of roads to protest against his election loss to former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Since the left-wing Mr da Silva’s’s victory on Sunday night, many truck drivers have jammed traffic in areas across the country and said they will not acknowledge Mr Bolsonaro’s defeat.
