Brazil Votes in Tense Lula vs Bolsonaro Runoff Election
On October 25, 2026, Brazilians voted in a highly polarized presidential runoff between incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and challenger Flávio Bolsonaro. Lula, the Workers' Party candidate, seeks re-election amid concerns over U.S. influence in Latin America. Bolsonaro led the first round by over 2.2 million votes, but voter turnout was low, with over 33 million abstaining from nearly 160 million eligible voters.
