Brazil election goes to run-off as right-wing Flávio Bolsonaro wins first round
- On Sunday, Brazil's election headed to an Oct. 25 runoff after President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Senator Flavio Bolsonaro both failed to secure the required 50% of the vote.
- Seeking a fourth term, Lula faces incumbent challenges from an affordability crisis and corruption scandal, while Flavio Bolsonaro campaigns on freeing his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro.
- Electoral court data showed Flavio Bolsonaro leading with over 55.8 million votes to Lula's nearly 53.2 million, as the Organization of American States reported smooth, safe voting conditions.
- Both candidates have three weeks to court moderate voters, though rival candidates Ronaldo Caiado and Renan Santos have stated they will not endorse either bidder in the runoff.
- The winner will govern Latin America's biggest economy of 214 million people starting Jan. 5, 2027, with Flavio Bolsonaro aligned to President Trump while Lula opposes U.S. tariff policies.
