Brazil is holding presidential elections in which Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, is competing against incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, in a race described by reports as deeply polarised, according to Deutsche Welle Arabic.
Opinion polls, according to the report, suggest the outcome may not be decided in the first round of voting, amid the sharp divide between supporters of the two political camps in the country.
The candidacy of Bolsonaro's son represents a continuation of the Bolsonaro family's presence in Brazil's political landscape, following his father Jair Bolsonaro's two presidential terms, while Lula da Silva, the current president, is seeking to retain his position against this challenge.
The available report did not provide further details on the candidates' platforms or upcoming milestones in the race, amid anticipation over the first-round results and whether a second round will be needed to determine the presidency.
