Brazil Election 2026 results are finally out. Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, an ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, and Brazil’s veteran President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will face off in a runoff October 25 for the top job of Latin America’s powerhouse economy. The country’s electoral court in Brasilia said neither the 80-year-old incumbent, seeking his fourth non-consecutive term, nor the 45-year-old son of former President Jair Bolsonaro would garner the more than 50 per cent of the total vote needed for an outright win.
Brazil’s electoral court in Brasilia had Bolsonaro with just over 55.8 million votes to Lula’s nearly 53.2 million. Both candidates were poised to address supporters.
