Brazilians in Ireland prepare to vote in election
- On Sunday, Brazilians head to the polls for the presidential election runoff between incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and challenger Flávio Bolsonaro, whose father was jailed for plotting a coup.
- The runoff follows a closely-contested first round earlier this month where Bolsonaro secured 47% of the vote, narrowly ahead of Lula, who received 45.2% of the electorate's support.
- Voting is compulsory for citizens aged 18 to 70, with thousands of Brazilians in Ireland travelling to Dublin to cast ballots at the RDS from 8am to 5pm.
- The winner will lead Latin America's largest economy and oversee a population of 214 million, though both candidates face significant image problems in the deeply polarized nation.
- Lula campaigns as a champion of Brazil's working poor, while Flávio Bolsonaro has promised to crack down on criminal groups and improve deals with the Trump administration.
