Lula da Silva mengambil pusingan pertama pilihan raya presiden di Brazil pada hari Ahad. Dengan 100% undi dikira, calon Parti Pekerja mendahului Bolsonaro, 48.4% hingga 43.2%.
The close results mean there will be a second round of elections. Those will take place on October 30, and could potentially see a change in the outcome.
Too Close to Call
The results of Sunday’s election weren’t what the polls predicted. Before the count began, Lula da Silva had a strong lead. He polled at over 51% of the vote, which would have meant that a second vote would be needed.
The results provided by the Superior Electoral Court (TSE, for its Portuguese acronym) offer an inside look at what was really going on. Both candidates fought hard for every vote, which means the second round will likely be even tighter.
The outcome of the presidential election will shape the country, including its gambling industry. Bolsonaro has made it clear that he’s not a big fan of legal sports betting, using that position as part of his campaign platform.
Lula da Silva isn’t enthusiastically jumping at the chance to open the industry, either. However, he seems interested in supporting the legislation if Congress were to approve it.
Bolsonaro led when the polls opened on Sunday, but as the votes started adding up, Lula da Silva narrowed the difference. With 70% of the vote in, he had pulled ahead and didn’t let go.
Because he didn’t reach 50% of the votes, a runoff is necessary. If he had only reached that threshold, it would have guaranteed him the presidency without sending voters to the polls again.
The idea that Brazil’s gambling industry would expand sometime this year was already in doubt. The outcome of the elections was never going to alter the timeframe, which means 2023 would have likely been the earliest Congress made a decision.
With such a close race, there’s a chance Bolsonaro will keep control of the government. This wouldn’t be great news for gaming operators.
House Divided
Should Lula da Silva win, he won’t have an easy job finding support in Congress. With the results of the rest of the elections in place, Bolsonaro was the clear winner in Congress.
Parti Liberal Bolsonaro akan mempunyai paling banyak kerusi di Dewan Negara, dengan 14 daripada 81. Ia juga akan mengawal Dewan Timbalan, dengan 99 daripada 513 kerusi. Majoriti perwakilan parlimen adalah konservatif, yang akan HK Prize meletakkan kerajaan Lula de Silva yang hipotesis dalam kedudukan yang sukar.
Bagi perjuangan di negeri-negeri, 11 daripada 27 akan berada di tangan konservatif. Tiga akan berada dalam Parti Pekerja Lula da Silva. Selebihnya juga akan ke pusingan kedua. Bolsonaro menang di Rio de Janeiro dan menjadi kegemaran di São Paulo, enjin ekonomi negara.
Menerajui Minas Gerais, negeri kedua paling ramai penduduk, akan menjadi konservatif, Romeu Zema. Dia pernah menyokong Bolsonaro, tetapi kini mengisytiharkan dirinya neutral.
