Presidential elections commenced in Brazil on Sunday, determining the nation’s leadership for the next four years. The election pits incumbent leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva against right-wing Senator Flávio Bolsonaro as the primary contenders among over ten candidates. Approximately 160 million voters are eligible to participate in the election process across Brazil. Analysts predict that no candidate will secure over 50 percent of the vote, necessitating a second round of voting. This decisive second round is scheduled for October 25th to determine the next President of Brazil. The outcome will significantly shape the future direction of the largest country in Latin America.
