Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Tuesday did not concede defeat in his first public remarks since losing Sunday's election, saying protests by his supporters were the fruit of "indignation and a sense of injustice" over the vote.
It took Bolsonaro, a right-wing nationalist, more than 44 hours to comment after the election was decided by electoral authorities, with the delay raising fears he would seek to cast doubt on the narrow result.
Brazil's far-right President Jair Bolsonaro has "authorised" the transition to a new government, without acknowledging his narrow defeat by his leftist rival Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
