In the Sunday presidential elections in Brazil, the right-wing senator Flavio Bolsonaro received the most votes, surprisingly surpassing the left-wing president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Since none of the 13 candidates received an absolute majority of votes, Bolsonaro and Lula will face off in the second round of elections on October 25, report foreign news agencies.
The winner of Sunday's Brazilian presidential elections has not been determined, and the second round of voting will take place at the end of October, where the right-wing senator Flavio Bolsonaro and the current president, the left-wing representative Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, will compete.
Lula, the current president, acknowledged that the result came as a surprise. At the same time, he emphasized that the race is not yet over.
Brazilian presidential elections will be decided in the second round, in which on October 25th, the left-wing 80-year-old president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and the right-wing 45-year-old senator Flavio Bolsonaro, otherwise the son of the former president Jair Bolsonaro, report the agencies.
