Lula and Bolsonaro hold final rallies across Brazil

Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and conservative candidate Flávio Bolsonaro held final campaign rallies on Saturday, the eve of the decisive presidential election runoff, with polls showing a dead heat. Lula, 81, rallied supporters on Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro and planned a second event on Paulista Avenue in São Paulo. Bolsonaro, 45, campaigned in Belo Horizonte before returning to Rio. A Datafolha poll released Thursday showed both candidates tied at 50%. The election follows a first round where Bolsonaro won 47% against Lula's 45%. The race is significant for Latin America, as many regional countries shifted rightward after Donald Trump's 2025 return to the White House.
