Millions across Brazil headed to the polls Sunday for the first round of a presidential election that has deepened divisions in Latin America’s most populous country and raised fears of violence at a crucial point in the country’s history.
Left-wing former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, 76, is a charismatic union leader who came from extreme poverty to serve two terms as president but came to typify for many Brazilians the corruption that tarred his party and led to his imprisonment.
From the beginning, the campaign was a contest of negative ratings. Polls suggested that more than half of Brazilians disapprove of Bolsonaro and wouldn’t vote for him. More than one-third felt the same about Lula. The election will likely not come down to who is the most popular, but who is the least disdained.
