Brazil's Lula, Flavio Bolsonaro wrap up campaigns ahead of first-round vote
Both camps made a last push for undecided voters as polls show neither candidate likely to win outright and a runoff remains possible, Reuters said.
- 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.
- Representing opposing political visions, Lula and Flavio Bolsonaro differ on issues ranging from organized crime to the relationship with the Trump administration, with the senator embracing his father Jair Bolsonaro's ultra-conservative agenda.
- Sao Paulo, Brazil's economic powerhouse with 46 million residents, holds one-fifth of the national vote, prompting both candidates to rally there to convince undecided voters before polls open Sunday.
- Bitter campaigns marred by personal attacks and scandals have left the candidates in a tight battle, with pollsters suggesting neither may win outright, potentially forcing an October 25 runoff.
- Lula has warned against "meddling," specifically criticizing U.S. President Donald Trump's interest in the election, as voters weigh how the outcome will shape Latin America's largest country's international relationships.
