BRASILIA (Reuters) -Brazilian Senate President Rodrigo Pacheco said on Friday that there is no risk of October election results being challenged, despite concerted efforts by President Jair Bolsonaro to raise questions about the integrity of the country's voting systems.

"With Brazil's institutions functioning, with society, with democracy already fully assimilated, I don't see the slightest environment for a refusal of the electoral result and much less of a coup," Pacheco told journalists in an interview.
