Brazil's Lula and Bolsonaro draw thousands to election-eve rallies
On the eve of Brazil's presidential run-off, both left-wing leader Lula and Bolsonaro drew thousands of people to rallies. The vote will decide whether the country keeps its left-wing leader or shifts to the right.
Thousands of people attended rallies in Brazil on the eve of the country's run-off election, where left-wing leader Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Jair Bolsonaro both drew crowds. Al Jazeera reported the events on 24 October.
The vote in South America's largest country is described as pivotal. Brazilians will decide whether to stay with their current left-wing leader or move towards the right, a choice that will shape the direction of national politics.
A run-off is a second round of voting held when no candidate wins the required majority in the first round, so the final decision is left to voters in a repeat ballot.
The source gives no further details, such as the exact locations of the rallies, attendance figures or what the candidates said. What it does make clear is that both camps used the final day before the vote to rally their supporters before people went to the polls.
