Presidential election: runoff in Brazil: Lula against Bolsonaro's son Flávio
The presidential election in Brazil is going into a second round. As it was four years ago, two names are up for selection: Lula and Bolsonaro. This time, however, Lula's challenger has the first name Flávio.
Brazil's presidential election will proceed to a runoff between incumbent leftist Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and right-wing senator Flávio Bolsonaro. Lula garnered 44.6% of the vote and Flávio Bolsonaro secured 47.4%, with neither achieving an absolute majority. The runoff is scheduled for October 25, with Lula seeking a fourth term and Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, vying for the government. Around 159 million Brazilians were eligible to vote.
