The presidential elections in Brazil will pit the current head of state, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, against Flávio Bolsonaro in the first round this Sunday, October 4, in a contest with 158 million voters.

According to a Quaest poll, Lula da Silva maintains a lead over Bolsonaro, “although it projects a tie between the two in a potential second round, in a race marked by a small percentage of undecided voters.”

The current president of the South American country is seeking his third term, with a lead of up to six points over his opponent, Flávio Bolsonaro.

According to the Quaest poll, Lula has 39 % of the vote intention, two points higher than last week, while Bolsonaro’s figure is 34 %, one point higher.

Once the results are known this Sunday, October 4, a second round is expected on October 25. This will occur if “no candidate surpasses 50 % of the votes.”

It is important to remember that, in addition to electing the new president of Brazil, on Sunday the Chamber of Deputies will also be renewed, two-thirds of the Senate will be elected, and the 27 regional governors will be chosen.

The president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, registered his candidacy for re-election in the 2024 elections, as reported on Monday night by the ruling party Nuevas Ideas (NI).

“We inform the Salvadoran people that President @nayibbukele (Nayib Bukele) and Vice President @fulloa51 (Félix Ulloa), are already registered as pre-candidates for President and Vice President of the Republic of El Salvador; in the largest party in the history of El Salvador,” the NI party said on Twitter.

Bukele announced his intention to be re-elected in the elections scheduled for September 2024, one year after the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice issued a decree that allows the President to run for re-election.

Before the measure, dictated by the Legislative Assembly with an official majority, a president had to wait ten years to run for president again.

The Faculty of Jurisprudence of the state University of El Salvador pointed out that Bukele’s re-election represents a violation of several articles of the Constitution, such as the one that states that the person who has held the Presidency will not be able to “continue in office for another day.”

Bukele came to power in 2019 with the Gran Alianza por la Unidad Nacional (Gana) party as the electoral vehicle, after the delay in the registration of his NI party, which is led by one of his cousins.
