Brazil election supporters

Supporters of presidential hopeful, former Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of the leftist Workers' Party, gathered along Avenida Paulista as they waited for the election results.

With 91.6% of the votes counted, Lula da Silva has a slight lead in the nation's presidential election, with 47.3% support. Incumbent Jair Bolsonaro is in second, with 44.2% support. It appears increasingly likely neither of the top two candidates will receive more than 50% of the valid votes, which exclude spoiled and blank ballots, meaning a second-round vote will be scheduled for Oct. 30.

More than 150 million Brazilians were eligible to vote, though abstention rates can reach as high as 20%.
