Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro has been hospitalized in an intensive care unit in Brasilia with pneumonia, as announced by a hospital in the capital. Bolsonaro’s eldest son Flávio shared that his father was taken to the hospital after experiencing chills and vomiting.

The 70-year-old former president, serving a 27-year sentence for an attempted coup, has been admitted for bronchopneumonia, likely due to aspiration, after displaying symptoms like high fever, low oxygen, and sweating.

Flávio, who plans to run for president, asked for prayers, while recent polls indicate a tight race between him and President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro has a history of hospitalizations since being stabbed during a campaign event in 2018.
