Presidential election: Before the runoff: Lula and Bolsonaro are fighting for the last votes
One day before the runoff election in Brazil, Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro have once again mobilized thousands of supporters. It's likely to be a close race - polls show both candidates almost neck and neck.
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and his right-wing challenger Flávio Bolsonaro have concluded their campaigns ahead of the runoff election. Lula addressed thousands of supporters in São Paulo, stating that the Brazilian society wants a structural change, not a step backward. Flávio Bolsonaro mobilized supporters in Belo Horizonte and Rio de Janeiro, expressing confidence that Brazil will have a new president by the end of the day.
The election pits Lula's leftist Workers' Party against Flávio Bolsonaro's right-wing Liberal Party, with Lula advocating for social programs and state investments, and Flávio Bolsonaro promising a conservative shift and tougher stance on crime. Around 159 million eligible voters will decide the country's political future on Sunday.
