Brazil's presidential election is heading to a runoff vote scheduled for October 25 after neither incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva nor challenger Senator Flávio Bolsonaro secured a majority vote in the initial round.
The electoral court in Brasilia confirmed the runoff after vote totals showed Senator Flávio Bolsonaro leading President Lula da Silva with 49.58% to 42.25%, based on approximately 65% of the reported votes.
The matchup places the veteran Brazilian president against a conservative senator identified as an ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, determining the future leadership of Latin America's largest economy.
