Far-right incumbent Jair Bolsonaro and veteran leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva are neck and neck tonight with about half of polling stations reporting in Brazil's down-to-the-wire presidential runoff election

With 80.9% of voting machines counted, Lula had 50.3% of votes compared with 49.7% for Bolsonaro, though a significant number of votes remained to be counted in the Bolsonaro stronghold state of Sao Paulo.

"What happened today is criminal. There is no justification for the to mount roadblocks on Election Day," Workers Party President Gleisi Hoffman told journalists. Lula promises more social and environmental responsibility, recalling the rising prosperity of his 2003-2010 presidency, before corruption scandals tarnished his Workers Party.

With Bolsonaro stickers on her chest, Rio de Janeiro resident Ana Maria Vieira said she was certain to vote for the president, and would never countenance picking Lula. In Sao Paulo, 31-year-old lawyer Gerardo Maiar said he was horrified by what Mr Bolsonaro had done as president.
