Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported47m ago
Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, son of far-right former leader Jair Bolsonaro, finished ahead of incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in Sunday's presidential election in Brasilia. The outcome sets up a run-off election scheduled for October 25.
The result represents a surprise outcome that defied opinion poll projections, which had previously shown Lula leading the race. Senator Bolsonaro heads into the upcoming run-off from a position of strength, propelled by a conservative wave and a right-wing surge in the country.
