Bolsonaro Surpasses Lula in Brazil Vote, Setting Up Runoff

Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

Senator Flavio Bolsonaro secured a narrow lead over President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in Brazil's first-round presidential vote, with 56.1m votes to Lula's 53.8m. The runoff is set for October 25.

Bolsonaro, 45, received endorsements from right-wing rivals Ronaldo Caiado and Romeu Zema, who ran against him in the first round. Caiado, a former Goias governor, secured 2.18% of the vote, while Zema, a Minas Gerais ex-governor, got 0.27%.

The election results mark a significant shift in Brazil's political landscape, with Bolsonaro's movement gaining control of the senate and setting up potential amnesty for his charismatic leader. Concerns over U.S. interference persist despite Trump's close ties to Bolsonaro.
