With 20% of the total number of sections polled, the right-wing president Jair Bolsonaro (Pl) leads the ballot for the presidential elections in Brazil.
According to data from the Higher Electoral Court, the right-wing candidate shows up with 51.57% of the valid votes, against 48.43% of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Pt).
The run-off for the presidential elections between the current head of state Jair Bolsonaro against the challenger Luiz Ignacio Lula da Silva ended with very strong controversies.
The election campaign was perhaps the most polarized since the dictatorship.
On the challenge to the last vote, suspicion has also fallen for the chaos in which public transport has fallen, with many voters who in various cities of the country did not have free access to transport, unlike what is required by law.
A situation that, especially for the Workers' Party, risks weighing on the votes.
The president of the Higher Electoral Court, Alexandre de Moraes, tried to patch it up.
With just under three hours to go until the polls closed, he ordered the federal traffic police to stop "immediately" the control operations on trains, buses and subways, after complaints by Lula's coalition, according to which road agents would have made transport is difficult precisely to "hinder" the vote, especially in the poorest regions of the north-east of the country, a stronghold of the left-wing leader.
The national president of the Workers' Party (PT), Gleisi Hoffmann, has even called for the arrest of the director general of the Brazilian federal traffic police, Silvinei Vasquez, who had voted in favor of Bolsonaro during the election campaign on Instagram.
Leading in the latest poll published last night by Datafolha was Lula, associated with the number 13 in the electronic ballot box.
Counting only valid voting intentions, the member of the PT running for his third term had 52%, while Bolsonaro (number 22), in search of reconfirmation, 48%.
In the first round Lula had obtained 48.43% of the votes (57.259.504) against 43.2% of the PL candidate (51.072.345), conquering 14 states, against Bolsonaro's 13.
