Bolsonaro's Son Stuns Lula as Brazil Heads for a Showdown
Brazil's presidential race is heading to a second round after right-winger Flávio Bolsonaro edged ahead of President Lula da Silva on Sunday. With 99% of votes counted, Bolsonaro had 47.03% to Lula's 45.16%, short of the majority needed. The pair meet again on 25 October. Bolsonaro, 45, is the son of jailed former president Jair Bolsonaro. Lula, 80, framed the choice as democracy versus barbarism.
