Fans of Brazil's president see him as a legendary leader, and are convinced he will win re-election.
Jair Bolsonaro is seeking re-election after becoming president of Brazil in January 2019
While British mourners accused him and his fans of lacking respect in a period of mourning, he was undeterred. "We'll vote for Bolsonaro because he is God," she tells her members. "He defends the same principles as us in accordance with the word of God."Pastor Laura Almeida says she believes that President Bolsonaro is the saviour who will ease the people's suffering"Whenever people are suffering, when they believe in an all-powerful creator, I think God raises up a saviour," she says.
Mr Bolsonaro does not separate politics from prayer. His campaign language is littered with religious references. Even lifting himself up to a godly status. Gilson Machado is an affable local politician. A former tourism minister under Mr Bolsonaro, he is perhaps most well-known - or infamous - for his love of playing the accordion. Now, he is running for senate in Pernambuco, but he is also head of Mr Bolsonaro's national campaign in the north-east, and is a great friend of the president.
