Far-right Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has seen the ranks of his new party swell in Congress while center-right rivals for the presidency deal with friendly fire, giving the incumbent a boost as he gears up for his re-election campaign.
Bolsonaro's decision to join Brazil's right-wing Liberal Party (PL) last month helped draw a wave of new members, making it the largest party in the lower house of Congress with 75 seats – up from just 33 seats after the 2018 election.
