 Brazil’s presidential race is heading for a runoff.

A first-round result has set up a head-to-head contest between right-wing Senator Flávio Bolsonaro and left-wing incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, after neither candidate managed to secure the more than 50% of votes needed to win the presidency outright.

Brazilian voters will now return to the polls to decide who will lead the country.
