Lula drew a record crowd in Sao Paulo, while Flávio Bolsonaro led motorcycle caravans and rallied in Rio as polls pointed to a runoff.
- On Saturday, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Senator Flavio Bolsonaro campaigned across Sao Paulo, seeking to capture the key state where a fifth of Brazil's voters reside on the eve of Sunday's election.
