Members of President Jair Bolsonaro's Cabinet have left the administration en masse to help boost the Brazilian leader's reelection chances by supporting him as they campaign for congressional seats and governorships.
Ten ministers left their positions Thursday, along with three other top officials, according to the official gazette. They are expected to campaign for office ahead of October's general elections and stump for Bolsonaro. Top officials must resign in order to run for other positions, per electoral law.
