Brazil's Final Presidential Debate Cancelled as Bomb Scare Hits Supreme Court
Brazil's president and opposition candidate both skipped the final debate ahead of the presidential election, as a bomb scare unfolded outside the country's Supreme Court.

A final televised debate ahead of Brazil's presidential election was cancelled after both the sitting president and the leading opposition candidate declined to participate, according to a report by Al Jazeera.
The cancellation coincided with a bomb scare outside Brazil's Supreme Court, though the report did not specify whether the two events were directly connected or detail how authorities responded to the security threat.
The debate's cancellation removes one of the final high-profile opportunities for candidates to face off publicly before voters go to the polls.
The report did not provide further details on the reasons each candidate gave for skipping the debate, nor on the current state of the broader presidential race. Additional information on the bomb scare investigation was not included in the available source material.
