The 45-year-old secured 47.1% of the vote, just shy of the 50% needed to avoid a run-off, while incumbent left-wing President Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva received 45%. Flavio Bolsonaro will face Lula in the second round, slated for October 25th. Lula's camp acknowledged the results as a lesson in Brazilian democracy, noting that the election often yields surprising outcomes.",
