Lula Da Silva Wins First Round Of Brazil’s Presidential Election

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has won the first round of Brazil’s presidential election and will face incumbent Jair Bolsonaro in a run-off vote.

According to the electoral office in Brazil, left-wing former president Lula came in at forty-seven point nine-seven percent, while right-wing Bolsonaro received forty-three point six-zero percent.

Since no candidate won more than 50 per cent of the vote, Lula and Bolsonaro as the two strongest contenders will go to a runoff on October 30.

If Lula wins the second round, he will be Brazil’s first democratic president to enter a third term. He was previously president from 2003-2010.
