Brazil presidential race heads to runoff between Lula and Bolsonaro
Original: brazil elections
Brazil's presidential election is going to a second round after neither candidate won a first-round majority. President Lula will face Bolsonaro in a runoff, with results showing Bolsonaro outperforming pre-election polls to force the decider. Outlets including Al Jazeera, the Guardian and BBC are covering the first-round takeaways, live results and how the dramatic vote unfolded.
Why now: The first-round results defied polling expectations and set up a runoff, making the outcome of Brazil's election uncertain and newsworthy.
