Main Points
São Paulo – In the second round of Brazil’s presidential election, ultraconservative Senator Flávio Bolsonaro is leading with 50.51% of the votes counted, while incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva trails at 49.49%. The figures come from official results after 25% of the ballots have been tallied. A candidate who secures more than 50% of valid votes will take office on January 5, beginning a four‑year term. The vote count has been marked by confusion; after Lula’s campaign requested an extension, a Supreme Court judge granted an additional two hours to the voting period, even though the counting of early ballots had already begun.
