Crucial Second Round Elections in Brazil

On Saturday, October 26, CNN Prime Time will provide crucial details regarding the second round of municipal elections happening in 51 cities, including 15 state capitals. With nearly 34 million eligible voters, the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) has ensured the safety of the electoral system by testing the integrity of the voting machines. Recent polls suggest a potential reelection of candidates such as São Paulo's current mayor, Ricardo Nunes from the MDB, who has 55% of the vote intentions, against 45% for Guilherme Boulos from PSOL. In Belo Horizonte, the competition is fierce between Fuad Noman and Bruno Engler, while in Fortaleza, André Fernandes and Evandro Leitão appear to be in a technical tie. Jair Bolsonaro's support for candidates in Goiânia and the tense scenario in Curitiba also deserve attention. Furthermore, the PL's presence in several capitals of the Northeast reflects a party advancement in a region traditionally linked to the PT. With such a dynamic electoral landscape, the results of tomorrow's elections could shape Brazilian politics for years to come.
