atarde.com.br (Portuguese) —

Senator Flavio Bolsonaro defeated President Lula in six Asian countries in Brazil's 2026 presidential runoff, according to early overseas results released Sunday by the electoral authority. Bolsonaro won in Japan, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Taiwan, with his largest margin in Japan (80.08% of votes). Lula led in Australia, China, South Korea, New Zealand, and Singapore. These overseas tallies are partial and do not determine the overall winner, which depends on national vote counting. Results were released early due to time zone differences.
