Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won the first round of Brazil's presidential elections. The former leftist leader will face President Jair Bolsonaro in a runoff.

SÃO PAULO—Former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva took the most votes in Sunday’s first round of Brazil’s presidential elections, edging ahead of President Jair Bolsonaro by pledging to focus on the poverty and unemployment made worse by the pandemic and the ensuing global economic crisis.

Mr. da Silva, a standard bearer of the Latin American left who is widely popular among the poor despite having been jailed on a corruption conviction in 2018, clinched 47.7% of the vote. The tally was just shy of the majority he needed to win outright, with 95.7% of votes counted Sunday night, according to Brazil’s electoral court.

kkkkkkkkkkk Bolsonaro took over 53% of the Senate AND the Congress House. 3rd and 4th place are anti-lula, which means that Bolsonaro will win the runoff.

If you’re going to call Lula a leftist call Bolsonaro a fascist. What ever happened to fair and balanced?

Former leftist?

The most corrupted president in Brazil's history is not satified and after 8 years (plus 4 of Rouseff) stealing so he want steal 4 more years. Lucky him Brazil love bandits and criminals, the country is very known as the country of impunity and see him out of prison proves that.

Lula did not win, this is a lie

the absolute destruction of freedom.

But be on the Lookout of Donald J Trump and His MAGA Chud Army likely to interfere in the Runoff to make sure Trump allows Hate Groups & Neo-Nazis to run the world.

Winning the first round is not the same as winning in the first round. The ultra-left yearned to be able to say that Lula won in the first round. Their long tongue of media manipulation fell short. casalsbate God’s in control.

Lula and the globalist socialist movement are the most corrupt and dangerous faction on the face of the earth. You've been warned! You've ignored the warning ⚠️ Reap what you sow, and leftist supporters deserve every bit of the evil you think is righteous!
