The challenge will be decided on the Italian night
ST. PAUL. The former president of Brazil Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva leads the presidential elections held today in the vast South American country by a whisker (156 million called to the polls): Lula has 44.42% of the votes, while Jair Bolsonaro, the outgoing president, it is at 43.84. But these are the very first official results, released when just 0.19% of the ballots were scrutinized. If neither Lula nor Bolsonaro manages to break through the 50% barrier, we will go to a second round on October 30th.
