Brazil's Lula and Bolsonaro Face Tight Runoff as Final Rallies End

Brazil's presidential election enters its final day with incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and right-wing challenger Flávio Bolsonaro nearly tied in polls, after both held massive final rallies on Saturday. Lula campaigned in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, advocating social programs and state investment, while Bolsonaro rallied supporters in Belo Horizonte and Rio, promising a conservative shift and tougher crime policies. Bolsonaro also seeks amnesty for his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is under house arrest. About 159 million Brazilians are eligible to vote on Sunday. Bolsonaro led the first round with 47% of valid votes to Lula's 45%, and some observers see the right-wing candidate as having an advantage, though polls predict a tight race.
