Brazil presidential candidate Fl\u00e1vio Bolsonaro won the backing of four centre-right parties on Wednesday, a day after a former adversary endorsed him, bolstering his campaign ahead of a tight run off.<\/p>\n
Uniao Brasil, Progressistas, Republicanos and Novo endorsed the right-wing hopeful on Wednesday, adding to support for the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t be part of a lost generation,\u201d Sao Paulo Governor Tarcisio de Freitas told Bolsonaro at a Republicanos event late Wednesday. \u201cWe have to deliver on the work that your father started.\u201d<\/p>\n

The younger Bolsonaro is moving to consolidate support and counter criticism over his lack of governing experience as he prepares to face leftist incumbent Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva in the second round. On Tuesday, he secured the backing of Ronaldo Caiado, former Goias state governor and ex-presidential contender. The campaign expects to finalise political party endorsements by Thursday.<\/p>\n
The mounting support could prove significant in the coming run off, given that Bolsonaro fell less than 3 percentage points short of the outright majority needed to win the nation\u2019s top job in Sunday\u2019s first round vote.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll write every page of Brazil\u2019s history with you,\u201d Bolsonaro said at the Republicanos event. \u201cI\u2019m known as a bridge builder.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bolsonaro said he will respect the Constitution and the nation\u2019s politics, while also vowing to serve only one term as head of state if elected in the October 25 runoff. \u201cThere will be stability, peace so everyone can work, as well as respect for the Constitution,\u201d Bolsonaro told reporters. \u201cBrazil will go back to normal.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Bolsonaro said he could use a congressional majority to amend the Constitution if he becomes president. The election produced a more right-leaning legislature, raising the possibility of securing majorities in both the Senate and the lower house and electing the leaders of both chambers.<\/p>\n
He has pointed to judicial, tax and public security reforms, as well as a move to limit presidents to a single term, as policies he would pursue that would require constitutional changes.<\/p>\n
