Brazil presidential election headed to runoff, projections show

Original: Brazil election headed to runoff, projection shows, as Bolsonaro lead narrows

Projections indicate Brazil's presidential election will go to a second round, with Jair Bolsonaro's early lead over rival Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva narrowing as votes are counted. Neither candidate is projected to secure the majority needed to win outright in the first round, setting up a decisive runoff vote later in October.

Why now: The result of a closely watched and polarising election between Bolsonaro and Lula is still uncertain as counting continues.
