Brazil's Presidential Runoff: Lula vs. Bolsonaro in a Tight Race

Polling stations opened in Brazil on Sunday for the presidential runoff, with around 159 million eligible voters deciding whether incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva remains in office or challenger Flávio Bolsonaro stages a comeback. Surveys show the race is extremely close. Political observers see the right-wing Bolsonaro as having an advantage in the election, which will determine the leadership of Latin America's most populous country. The vote pits the current administration against the Bolsonaro political clan. The runoff follows a first round where no candidate secured a majority. The outcome will shape Brazil's political direction, with Lula seeking a new term and Bolsonaro aiming to return his family to power.
