Brazil heads to Lula–Bolsonaro runoff as right gains
Original: Brazil's presidential race heads to Lula–Bolsonaro run-off as right gains ground
No candidate won an outright majority in Brazil's presidential election, sending the race to a runoff between leftist former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and incumbent Jair Bolsonaro. Lula finished ahead in the first round, but Bolsonaro's stronger-than-expected showing, along with gains for right-wing candidates in Congress and governorships, has sharpened debate over Brazil's political direction ahead of the decisive second vote.
Why now: The first-round result defied polls that had Lula winning outright, making the runoff a pivotal and contested moment for Brazil's future.
