Flávio Bolsonaro’s shock first-round victory has put Brazil’s right-wing candidate in a strong position ahead of the October 25 runoff against President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. With nearly all votes counted, Bolsonaro led Lula by about 47% to 45%, exceeding expectations and attracting support from conservative voters. His Liberal Party also performed strongly in congressional races. Lula now faces the task of uniting the left and winning over eliminated candidates before a watched contest that could reshape Brazil’s politics.
