Polls close in Brazil's election pitting Lula against Bolsonaro

Original: Polls close in Brazil’s polarised election pitting Lula against Bolsonaro

Voting has ended in Brazil's presidential election, a runoff between former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and the incumbent Jair Bolsonaro. The contest is seen as a stark choice for the country, pitting a left-wing former leader against a right-wing incumbent in one of the world's most polarised democracies. Vote counting began shortly after polls closed, with results expected later in the day.

Why now: Brazilians and global observers are awaiting the results of a pivotal presidential runoff that could reshape the country's political direction.
