Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro’s administration has signalled a willingness to hand over power, two days after a nail-biting election loss to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and amid speculation the far-right incumbent might fight the result.

Mr Bolsonaro reportedly told members of Brazil’s Supreme Court that his election battle against Mr da Silva has come to an end.
