Brazil presidential election: 'Bolsonaro being ahead is a surprise,' researcher says
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported45m ago
Right-wing candidate Flávio Bolsonaro has won the first round of Brazil's presidential election, securing 47 percent of the vote compared to 45 percent for leftist incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva. The outcome defied most pre-election polls, with a researcher describing Bolsonaro being ahead as a surprise.
Because neither candidate secured more than 50 percent of the vote required for an outright victory, the election will proceed to a run-off scheduled for October 25.
