Feb. 9 (UPI) -- Brazilian Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, the eldest son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, has begun to publicly project himself as a possible candidate for the presidency.
This comes at a time when the country's right wing is seeking new leadership ahead of October elections.
Flávio Bolsonaro, 44, represents the state of Rio de Janeiro in the Senate, and in recent days confirmed that his father chose him to represent the Liberal Party in the presidential race.
"I confirm Jair Bolsonaro's decision to entrust me with the mission of continuing our national project," the lawmaker said in a social media post.
