Brazil's Presidential Election: Lula Against Flávio Bolsonaro

Brazil holds a presidential election on October 4, 2026. Four years after President Lula narrowly defeated Jair Bolsonaro, Lula is on the ballot again — this time facing Bolsonaro's son, Flávio, in what the report describes as a high-stakes rematch. The surname has changed occupants but not sides; the contest is a rerun between the same two camps with a different name carrying one of them.
