Brazil held a presidential election on Sunday with nearly 160 million voters casting ballots. Incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva faced right-wing Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, in a closely contested race.
The election determined not only the presidency but also lawmakers, senators and governors. The result will shape whether Latin America's biggest nation follows a regional swing to the right championed by US President Donald Trump, according to France 24.
