Brazil's Presidential Runoff Sees Tight Race Between Lula and Bolsonaro
Brazil's presidential runoff on October 25 features incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and right-wing challenger Flavio Bolsonaro in a closely contested race. Lula has mobilized mass rallies advocating workers' rights and public services, while Bolsonaro's campaign has focused on social media and legal challenges, including mutual disqualification requests over alleged election interference. The election reflects deep political polarization, with both candidates accusing each other of foreign influence and abuse of power amid a nation divided since Jair Bolsonaro's 2022 defeat and subsequent imprisonment.
