  "account": "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.",
  "summary": "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.",
