Brazilian presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro has named conservative lawmaker Alfredo Gaspar as his running mate in October's election.
The choice surprised observers after Bolsonaro had considered selecting a woman to broaden his support.
Gaspar represents the northeastern state of Alagoas and previously served as its public security secretary.
He also led a congressional investigation into Brazil's social security agency, which has drawn scrutiny involving one of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's sons.
