Flávio Bolsonaro wins the Brazil first round

Brazil has voted in a general election that includes the presidency. Incumbent president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva sought a fourth non-consecutive term. His main opponent was Rio de Janeiro senator Flávio Bolsonaro. Flávio Bolsonaro is the son of former president Jair Bolsonaro.

Flávio Bolsonaro won the first round. He advanced to a runoff against Lula da Silva. The runoff date stated is October 25. The first-round result does not by itself award the presidency.

Voters also chose a vice president. They chose 513 members of the Chamber of Deputies. They chose 54 members of the Federal Senate. The presidential contest is the race that produced the runoff.

Lula da Silva is identified as the incumbent and as the Workers' Party candidate seeking another term. The term he sought is described as a fourth non-consecutive term. Flávio Bolsonaro is identified as a senator from Rio de Janeiro and as the son of Jair Bolsonaro. The first round placed Flávio Bolsonaro first and sent both men to October 25.

The report of the first round does not give a percentage for either candidate. It does state who finished in position to advance. It names the runoff opponent and the runoff date. It keeps the presidency undecided until that later vote.

The recorded electoral fact is a first-round win for Flávio Bolsonaro and a runoff against Lula da Silva. The date of the runoff is October 25. The congressional numbers on the same ballot are 513 deputies and 54 senators. No winner of the presidency was declared from the first round alone.
