Brazil's presidential race will proceed to a second round after far-right candidate Flávio Bolsonaro beat incumbent leftwing president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Although Bolsonaro failed to secure an outright majority, the 45-year-old son of Jair Bolsonaro enters the October 25 runoff as the strong favorite. He is expected to consolidate support from other rightwing candidates, such as Ronaldo Caiado and Renan Santos, as investors and analysts react to his current lead over Lula.
