Brazil President Election: Signs of change in Brazil, know who is Lula who is ahead in the presidential election

Voting took place in Brazil in the presidential election on Sunday. Counting has also started after voting. Incumbent President Jair Bolsonaro is trailing his rival and former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva after a long and controversial election campaign. In the world's fourth largest democracy, people have shown signs of bringing about change. According to early election results, the left-wing Lula is leading, while the right-wing Bolsonaro is currently trailing. Leftist Ciro Gomes and centrist Simon Debate are currently in third and fourth place. 

Lula made the lead

The Superior Electoral Court (TSE) said on its website that Lula had 45.7 percent of the valid votes, while Bolsonaro had 45.5% of the votes after 70 percent of the voting machines counted. Let us tell you that if no candidate is able to win by more than half the votes except for blank and defective ballot papers, then in two to four weeks the top two candidates will face each other in the second round of voting. 

Lula being considered the preferred candidate

Lula da Silva is being considered the most preferred candidate this time. Many Brazilians are voting despite their dislike. This is because they want to remove the current president. Lula served as president from 2003 to 2010. 

Scam name

Some voters consider him unfit for the presidency because of his involvement in the Lava Jato corruption scandal. Let us tell you that Lula spent almost two years in prison on corruption charges. However, after this the Supreme Court overturned his sentence.
