Brazil’s presidential election will proceed to a runoff on October 25 after Senator Flávio Bolsonaro finished ahead of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in Sunday’s first round but fell short of an outright majority.
With 99.99% of ballots counted, Bolsonaro had 47.03% of valid votes, compared with 45.16% for Lula, according to figures reported by Agência Brasil. The Guardian put their totals at 56.1 million and 53.8 million votes, respectively.
“I was convinced I was going to win the election in the first round,” Lula said. The two candidates will now compete directly in the second round.
The vote also strengthened the political movement associated with former President Jair Bolsonaro, Flávio Bolsonaro’s father. The Liberal Party emerged as the largest force in the lower house, thebilig.com reported, and secured 28 of the Senate’s 81 seats, The Guardian reported. Together with other hard-right parties, it holds 43 Senate seats. Several members of the Bolsonaro family also won congressional seats, including Michelle Bolsonaro and Carlos Bolsonaro in the Senate, and Jair Renan Bolsonaro and Renato Bolsonaro in the lower house.
Allies Tarcísio de Freitas and Sérgio Moro won gubernatorial races in São Paulo and Paraná, respectively. Brazilian stocks and the currency rose after the first-round result, according to Reuters.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: One sentence needs corrected attribution for the Liberal Party’s lower-house result. - "The Liberal Party emerged as the largest force in the lower house and secured 28 of the Senate’s 81 seats, The Guardian reported.": The source material attributes the lower-house claim to thebilig.com/Al Jazeera, while The Guardian reported the Senate caucus figure, so the outlet attribution is partly wrong.
