Supporters appeal to the military for assistance following his election defeat in Brazil.

Protesters blocking roads across Brazil in support of defeated President Jair Bolsonaro have clashed with police.

Bolsonaro has yet to accept defeat nearly 48 hours after leftist leader Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won the election.

Protesters are making unfounded claims that the outcome is fraudulent, similar to claims made by Donald Trump supporters after the 2020 US election.
