President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is chasing abstainers while opponent Flávio Bolsonaro collects endorsements from defeated first-round candidates ahead of Brazil’s presidential runoff.


President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is working to attract abstainers while opponent Flávio Bolsonaro is receiving support from some candidates defeated in the first round, Infobae reported from São Paulo ahead of Brazil’s presidential runoff.

The agency note did not give the runoff date, first-round percentages or the names of the endorsing candidates. Those figures are omitted rather than filled from memory.

The contest is the second round of the presidential election, not a new vote called on Tuesday. The material update is the outreach to abstainers and the transfer of some first-round support to Bolsonaro.

No official electoral-court statement was opened for this hour. The item relies on the Infobae agency roundup.

Campaign events scheduled for Tuesday were not listed in the source.
