Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva closes his campaign on Saturday with a rally in Sao Paulo ahead of the presidential runoff.
In the first round, senator Flavio Bolsonaro narrowly topped the vote, securing 47.03% of valid votes against Lula’s 45.16%.
Recent opinion polls point to a closely contested runoff, with surveys giving Bolsonaro 51% of valid voting intentions and Lula 49%, placing the candidates within the poll's two-percentage-point margin of error.
Brazil's presidential runoff is scheduled for Sunday, October 25.
