Brazil’s former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) held his last campaign rally on the eve of the elections on Paulista Avenue, one of the most important streets of Sao Paulo, an event in which he was accompanied by the former president of Uruguay, José Mujica.
Da Silva participated in a march along the avenue, where he asked for votes for his candidacy in this Sunday’s presidential elections. In addition, Brazil elects the governors of 12 states in a second round, so the PT candidate to govern Sao Paulo also addressed his supporters and asked for their support at the polls, according to ‘Folha de S.Paulo’.
Brazilian electoral law prohibits rallies on the eve of elections, so candidates cannot deliver a speech from a fixed platform. However, the rule authorizes to carry out, walks, caravans as has been the case of Bolsonaro or marches in which messages of the candidacy are disseminated and the vote is requested.
The former Brazilian president (2003-2010) has reached the day before the election with a slight advantage over his opponent, according to the latest survey published Saturday by Datafolha Da Silva would have 52 percent of the valid votes while Bolsonaro would have the remaining 48.
Since 1997, no candidate who has lost in the first round has won in the second round, however, 2 percent of those polled remain undecided about the direction of their vote, while 4 percent believe they will not participate.
