Brazil's incumbent head of state Jair Bolsonaro expressed the expectation of another election victory in the runoff election for the presidency this Sunday.

"The expectation is victory - for the good of Brazil," said the right-wing politician in Rio de Janeiro, where he cast his vote in a yellow Brazil T-shirt. To do this, he made the victory sign. "God willing, we will be victorious today. Or rather, Brazil will be victorious today."

The left-wing ex-president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won the first round of elections four weeks ago - albeit with a smaller lead over Bolsonaro than the polls had expected. Now the race is considered open. For months, the election campaign was marked by serious mutual accusations and misinformation spread on the Internet. Both candidates fought for every vote until the end.
