Brazil Presidential Runoff

Brazil's presidential election is heading to a runoff after neither incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva nor challenger Flávio Bolsonaro won a majority in the first round. Multiple reports indicate Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, holds a narrow lead over Lula, though the race appeared very close. The next president will be decided in a runoff later this month, according to Brazil's electoral court.
