Lula increases announcements of benefits for Brazilians on the eve of the elections

In the lead-up to the Brazilian presidential runoff election, incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has intensified his campaign by announcing a series of social benefits aimed at broadening his electoral support. These measures follow a pattern of recent policy announcements intended to bolster his standing among voters before the final vote.

Simultaneously, electoral data indicates a competitive landscape. Reports citing a compilation from the Brazilian outlet Poder360 show that Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, leads in seven out of eight recent national polls. Despite these figures, the race remains contested, with significant variations observed between different polling studies.
