Brazil’s leading right-wing candidate for the presidency will likely pick a member of Brazil’s former royal family or a general as his running mate, according to son and fellow lawmaker, Eduardo Bolsonaro.

Jair Bolsonaro, a former Army captain, is in discussion with Luiz Philippe de Orleans e Braganca, a descendant of Brazil’s last emperor, and Antonio Hamilton Mourao, a retired Army general, the younger Bolsonaro said in an interview.
