  "summary": "Flávio Bolsonaro has taken the lead in Brazil's presidential election first round with 47.1% of valid votes, according to El Pais. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the incumbent president, secured 45% of the votes, as reported by multiple sources. With 98-99% of votes counted, no candidate has secured an outright majority, setting up a runoff election.\n\nThe runoff will take place on October 25, with Flávio Bolsonaro, the 45-year-old son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, facing off against Lula, who is 80 years old. According to The Guardian, Flávio Bolsonaro will enter the second round as the favourite, potentially boosted by votes from other right-wing candidates.\n\nThe election results also showed a strong performance by the far-right in Brazil, with several Bolsonarista politicians winning congressional and gubernatorial races. According to The Guardian, 34 out of 54 elected senators are from the right or far right.",
