Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said on Sunday that allies have suggested he increases the number of justices in the Supreme Court if he is reelected, according to remarks broadcast on social media.

The Supreme Court has 11 members, and Bolsonaro says the move could help level the playing field at the country's highest body of justice.
