Brazil Election Heads to Runoff Between Lula and Bolsonaro
Original: Brazil Elections Head to Runoff Between Lula and Bolsonaro
Brazil's presidential election will be decided in a runoff, with left-wing former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva facing incumbent right-wing president Jair Bolsonaro in a second round. Neither candidate secured enough votes to win outright in the first round, setting up a decisive contest between the country's two dominant political forces.
Why now: The first-round result forces Brazilians to vote again in a high-stakes runoff between two polarizing candidates.
