Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, on Saturday, said that he sees only three alternatives for his – winning the 2022 presidential elections, death or prison. His remarks come as he questioned Brazil’s electronic voting system and said that he will not accept the next year’s presidential election. He has been batting for printed receipts instead of electronic ballot, saying that they are vulnerable to fraud.

“I have three alternatives for my future: being arrested, killed or victory,” Bolsonaro was quoted by Reuters as saying.

However, he later maintained that the first option is out of question. “No man on Earth will threaten me,” he said.

Bolsonaro is playing catch up with former leftist President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva in most polls.

During a meeting with evangelical leaders, the current Brazilian president discredited Brazil’s electoral court. “We have a president who neither desires nor provokes a rupture, but everything has a limit in life. I can’t continue to live with this,” he said.

In reply to Bolsonaro’s claims, head of Brazil’s electoral court Luís Eduardo Barroso, the TSE, on Wednesday, said there is no problem with the electronic voting system. He dubbed the use of printed ballots “a waste of focus.”

The far-right president also invited evangelical leaders to show up at the September 7 nationwide marches to support him. Brazil’s huge evangelical voting bloc was decisive in Bolsonaro’s 2018 victory.

Talking about the September 7 nationwide marches, Bolsonaro said Brazilians will not have to worry about the marches as they will not be violent. His statements come on the background of growing concerns that Bolsonaro’s supporters who war riled up by frustrations with the Supreme Court, federal election authorities and lawmakers, could create a ruckus during the marches.

Brazil has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic that has claimed millions of lives worldwide, years of graft and economic underachievement.
