Brazil election: Lula and Bolsonaro to face run-off (BBC News)

Neither presidential candidate got more than 50% of the overall vote, meaning they will face off on 30 October.

This is a drama which has been years in the making. Not surprisingly, that tension has filtered down into the streets. But with Mr Bolsonaro counting on the agricultural sector and agribusiness for votes and support, it is Lula who is the preferred choice of climate activists. During the nights before the vote, neighbours here in Rio could be heard shouting "Lula is a thief" and "Out with Bolsonaro" at each other. In the last TV debate before the vote, President Bolsonaro called Lula a thief, in reference to the corruption charges that put him in jail for 580 days before the conviction was annulled. For Lula - who could not run in the 2018 election because he was in prison after being convicted on corruption charges - this spells a remarkable comeback.
