Brazil’s far-right President Jair Bolsonaro cast his ballot Sunday in a tight presidential runoff against leftist challenger Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, saying he expects a win “for the good of Brazil”.

“God willing, we will be victorious later today. Or even better, Brazil will be victorious,” he said after voting in Rio de Janeiro, smiling broadly and clad in the bright yellow and green of the Brazilian flag.
