Watch this video as Firstpost explains how Brazilians have headed to the polls for a high-stakes presidential runoff between veteran leftist incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and conservative senator Flavio Bolsonaro. The final polls reflect an extraordinarily tight race that will define Brazil’s political direction and its role in Latin America. Lula, turning 81 next week, is seeking a fourth non-consecutive term, framing the contest as a defence of democracy, economic stability, and vital social programmes. Meanwhile, Flavio Bolsonaro presents himself as a moderate alternative to his father, Jair Bolsonaro—who is currently serving a 27-year sentence over a coup attempt—vowing a strict crime crackdown and deep spending cuts. Amid concerns over the cost of living, allegations of social media ad bias, heavy rain impacting turnout, and threats of judicial impeachment, the election leaves Brazil deeply divided as voters choose between a return to Bolsonaro-family rule and Lula’s continuity.
