Brazil’s Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro campaign in powerhouse state ahead of Sunday’s presidential vote
Brazilian presidential frontrunners Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro campaigned in Sao Paulo, a state that contains one-fifth of the nation's voting population. Lula, seeking his fourth nonconsecutive term, paraded through Sao Paulo's main street, emphasizing democracy and sovereignty against what he called barbarism and corruption.
Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, visited rural cities of Santa Barbara d’Oeste and Americana, vowing to lead the country with conservative values. Lula's supporters believe his candidacy represents the best hope for the nation’s future, while Flávio Bolsonaro stresses a continuation of his father’s policies.
Brazilians will also vote for state and federal representatives, governors, and senators in the election.
