Brazil Election: Bolsonaro And Lula da Silva Will Face The Second Round

Brazil Election: In Brazil’s presidential election, Bolsonaro and Lula da Silva will face the second round.

Brazil’s presidential election will see a ‘run-of-vote’ (second phase) contest between the two leading candidates, as no one got a majority in Sunday’s general election.

The election is believed to be a close contest between right-wing Jair Bolsonaro and leftist Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

The vote for the presidency was 99.6 percent, with former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva receiving 48.3 percent and President Jair Bolsonaro 43.3 percent.

Nine other candidates were also in the fray, but none of them got any significant public support. Lula da Silva was voted by people as their first choice in several recent pre-poll surveys.

50 percent of the people who took part in the surveys supported Lula da Silva, while 36 percent said that Jair Bolsonaro would once again take over the reins of the country.

Brazil election: Nara Pavao, who teaches political science at the Federal University of Pernambuco, said, “Lula and Bolsonaro were not expecting such a tough contest.”

The ‘run of vote’ match was compared to the “extra time” found in a game of football. He said, “I want to win every election in the first contest, but it is not always possible.”

The country’s power will be returned to Bolsonaro, the current right-wing ideologue, for four years, or the leftist Lula da Silva will return to power.

It is worth noting that apart from giving inflammatory speeches, President Bolsonaro is accused of weakening democratic institutions.

His efforts to deal with the challenge of the Kovid-19 global pandemic in the country have also been criticized.

He is also held responsible for the largest felling of trees in the Amazon forest region during the last 15 years.

Bolsonaro, however, has built a huge following by defending traditional family values ​​and projecting himself as a leader who defends the country from leftist policies.

Brazil’s economic growth rate is very slow and despite the introduction of welfare schemes, 33 million people are facing food shortages.

Rising inflation and unemployment in the country are also big challenges.
