Brazil holds presidential runoff election between Lula and Bolsonaro's son

Brazilian voters went to the polls on Sunday to choose between two very different candidates for president. Incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, 80, is a left-wing leader seeking a fourth term. His opponent, Flávio Bolsonaro, 45, is a right-wing senator and the eldest son of former president Jair Bolsonaro.

Flávio Bolsonaro finished ahead of Lula in the first round on October 4, when neither man won enough votes to avoid a runoff. Polls showed the race was extremely close, with some giving Bolsonaro a small lead.

Lula held large rallies to encourage more people to vote. His father, Jair Bolsonaro, is currently in prison for plotting a coup after losing the 2022 election.
