Lula, Bolsonaro Strike Calmer Tone in Final Brazil Election Debate
- On Sunday, October 25, 2026, Brazilians voted in a presidential runoff between incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, with results expected within hours after polls closed.
- Senator Flávio Bolsonaro secured a shock first-round lead earlier this month, surpassing President Lula by more than 2.2 million votes and forcing the race into this runoff.

- Despite more than 33 million voters abstaining in the first round, both campaigns aggressively targeted the remaining undecided electorate, with 94 percent of voters already having decided.
- The runoff outcome could position Brazil as a regional ally for US President Donald Trump or maintain its leftist stronghold, reflecting broader rightward shifts across Latin America.
