Flavio Bolsonaro, son of Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro, was confirmed Saturday as his father's Liberal Party candidate to challenge incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
"Bolsonaro's blood flows here," he declared at the party convention in Sao Paulo.
His father has been sentenced to 27 years in prison for plotting a coup following his loss to Lula in the 2022 election.
Brazil's presidential election is scheduled to be held on October 4. If no candidate wins an outright majority, a runoff will take place on October 25.
