  • On the eve of the election, Janones hosted a 24-hour livestream, although polls still suggested a Bolsonaro victory.

  • Political scientists said the direct effect on votes could not be determined and noted Lula combined digital and grassroots mobilisation.
  • We are going to give people a greater say in decision-making, and digital communication will play a much bigger role in my government.

Oct 5, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: npr.org
  • After more than 99% of votes were counted, Flávio Bolsonaro had roughly 47% and Lula 45%; neither exceeded 50%.

  • The third-, fourth- and fifth-place presidential candidates were right-wing and could provide Bolsonaro additional runoff votes.

  • Early results also pointed to significant gains for the right in Congress, particularly in the Senate.

  • During the next three campaign weeks, security, corruption, the economy and Brazil’s relationship with the United States are likely to dominate.
  • It's the end of the Workers' Party era.
    — Flávio Bolsonaro said to journalists and supporters outside his Brasília home after the results came in.
