After classifying 92% of voters in the Brazilian presidential elections, former leftist president Luis Inacio Lula da Silva was able to support Jayer Bolsonaro.
According to the British publication Guardian, the results of the sorting of 94.5% of the ballots showed Lula Dasselva winning by a margin of 50.6% over Bolsonaro’s 49.4%.
The electoral officials are bracing for a close decision, which Bolsonaro, should he lose, may challenge.
Additionally, there has been an increase in political violence this year, including recent armed clashes in which Polsonaro and notable associates took part, fueling concerns that the dispute over the election’s outcome will cause unrest.
The Supreme Electoral Court, presided over by Supreme Court judges, has created a security plan to safeguard its personnel and facilities in the event of protests like the one that resulted in the attack on the US Congress building in January 2021.
