Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported47m ago
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro faced off on Sunday in the first round of Brazil’s 2026 presidential election. The contest places the leftist incumbent, nearly 81 years old, at the center of a major leftist stronghold amidst a broader regional conservative wave.
In addition to the presidential face-off, Flávio Bolsonaro's far-right Liberal Party (PL) scored a major victory in concurrent legislative and regional races. The party secured the highest number of gubernatorial victories and is set to become the largest bloc in the Brazilian Senate next year.
