@theinformant.com: 🇧🇷🗳 BRAZIL HEADS TO A PRESIDENTIAL RUNOFF AFTER FLÁVIO BOLSONARO FINISHES FIRST. On October 5, 2026, Brazil’s electoral court confirmed that Bolsonaro received 47.03% of valid votes in Sunday’s first round, compared with 45.16% for President Lula da Silva. Neither reached 50%, so the two will meet again on October 25. The election also produced major congressional gains for Bolsonaro’s Liberal Party: the PL is set to hold 28 Senate seats and is projected at about 121 seats in the Chamber of Deputies, making it the largest single party in both chambers. Michelle Bolsonaro and Carlos Bolsonaro were also elected to the Senate. #Brazil #FlavioBolsonaro #Lula #BrazilElections #TheInformant
