BRAZIL heads to the polls on October 28 for the second round of what has perhaps been the most volatile and unpredictable election campaign since the country’s military dictatorship ended in 1989.
The run-off is between the far-right Jair Bolsonaro and Fernando Haddad who is the left-wing Workers’ Party (PT) candidate. Bolsonaro had a commanding lead of more than 16 per cent over Haddad in the first round.
The context to this election is that in the last two years, Latin America’s most populous nation has undergone political upheaval.
It started with the coup that removed PT president Dilma Rousseff. Having failed to get rid of Rousseff (or her predecessor Lula da Silva) via the ballot box, the Brazilian conservative elite removed her through a “parliamentary coup” instead.
