Brazil's 2026 presidential election is underway, with incumbent left-wing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro—the son of former far-right populist President Jair Bolsonaro—nearly tied in the polls. On the eve of Sunday's vote, both front-runners campaigned intensely in the powerhouse state of São Paulo to rally supporters and court undecided voters.
São Paulo represents a critical electoral battleground, holding one-fifth of the nation's total vote. Current polling indicates that Sunday's first round of voting is unlikely to yield an outright winner, pointing instead toward a subsequent runoff election.
