President Jair Bolsonaro has launched a new political party a day after leaving the right-wing Social Liberal Party (PSL).
His new party, Alliance For Brazil, will fight corruption and advance Christian values, he said. Bolsonaro left the PSL following a row with its founder over control of campaign funds. He wants PSL lawmakers and and senators to follow him out.
The PSL surged in popularity to become the second-largest in the Brazilian Congress after Bolsonaro joined it last year for his presidential run. The new party must collect 500,000 signatures to appear on ballots in municipal elections next year.
