Brazil's Lula and Bolsonaro face runoff in presidential election

Brazilians voted Sunday in a presidential runoff between incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and right-wing challenger Flávio Bolsonaro, after neither secured a majority in the Oct. 4 general election. In that first round, Bolsonaro of the Liberal Party won 47% of the vote, while Lula of the Workers' Party took 45.1%, with the remainder split among 10 other candidates. Lula is seeking a fourth, non-consecutive term, while Bolsonaro aims to follow his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is under house arrest for plotting a coup after losing the 2022 election. At a Saturday rally in Rio de Janeiro, Lula accused Bolsonaro of being beholden to U.S. interests, while Bolsonaro, a 45-year-old legislator, said after voting that Brazil "can't take another four years the way things are."
