Michel Temer became interim president as soon as Dilma Rousseff was suspended.
- The 75-year-old law professor of Lebanese origin was Ms Rousseff's vice-president and was a key figure in the recent upheaval
- Up until now, he's been the kingmaker,
but never the king, having helped form coalitions with every president
in the past two decades
- He is president of Brazil's largest party, the PMDB, which abandoned the coalition in March 2016
- In recent months, his role has become
even more influential; in a WhatsApp recording leaked in April, he
outlined how Brazil needed a "government to save the country".
