Brazil's Lula and Flavio Bolsonaro Face Runoff in Presidential ElectionPreviousNext

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, nearly 81, is campaigning for a fourth term against right-wing Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro. Lula has adopted social media strategies and public workouts to connect with voters ahead of the October 25 runoff. The election features rallies, debates, and social media influence, with courts also playing a role. Flavio Bolsonaro narrowly led the first round, intensifying the contest between the two political figures.
