00:22I'm on Avenida Paulista in downtown Sao Paulo, where Lula is about to embark on what could be the final
00:30campaign rally of his long political career.
00:34Tomorrow is election day.
00:36At the end of the first round, in which Flavio Bolsonaro won by 1.8%, he was ahead by about
00:436 points.

00:50Last time Lula came out to the streets of Sao Paulo a few weeks ago, more than 1 million people
00:56turned up to show their support for him.
00:58And it looks like today's rally may be even larger than that one.

01:08in which Lula was able to insert the class, the class conflict into the middle of the debate,
01:16comparing his work career with the work career of Flavio Bolsonaro.
01:21Now, just as Lula's supporters are very optimistic,
01:25Flavio Bolsonaro's supporters also believe that he's going to win the election tomorrow.
01:31But it's so close right now, we're only going to find out after the polls close and the results should
01:36be with us by the end of tomorrow night.
01:39So all eyes are turned to Brazil right now for its presidential elections, second round 2026.
