- Flavio Bolsonaro surpassed President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in a first-round vote in Brazil, receiving 47% of the votes.
Flavio is the eldest son of former far-right president Jair Bolsonaro and was chosen by his father to continue the family's political project after Bolsonaro senior was convicted of coup-plotting and barred from running for office until 2030.
Leftist President Lula is seeking a fourth term in office and has branded the election a battle between democracy and "barbarism," warning voters that Brazil's sovereignty is at stake in the face of US pressure.
The two candidates will clash again in a 25 October runoff.
