 Thousands gathered at Avenida Paulista in Sao Paulo to celebrate former President Luisa Nácio Lula da Silva of the left-wing Workers' Party, obtaining the highest number of votes in the first round of Brazilian elections held on October 2. Brazil's presidential race will now head to a second round, as none of the candidates secured more than 50% of the votes needed to win the country's presidency in the first round itself. Railing Lula in the results was incumbent President Jair Bolsonaro of the far-right Liberal Party. With 99.99% of the votes counted, Lula obtained 48.43% of the votes and Bolsonaro got 43.2% of the votes. They will now face off in the second round on October 30th. It is only a matter of waiting a little more days for us to talk more, for us to promote our program, for us to talk to other people more. It is thanks to people like you, it is thanks to women, men and young people who are here that the Workers' Party will win the elections on the second round. After the top two candidates were Simão Tibete of the Brazilian Democratic Movement with 4.16% of the votes and Ciro Gomes of the Democratic Labor Party with 3.04% of the votes. The remaining seven contestants secured less than 1% of the votes. Apart from the president, Brazil also voted to elect state and federal governors, senators and federal, state and district deputies. While the party of Bolsonaro, the Liberal Party, won the biggest number of seats in the Chamber of Deputies with 99, the legislative elections give other reasons to celebrate. A number of candidates from the country's historically marginalized communities won their races and achieved major milestones. Erika Hilton will be the first transvestite parliamentarian in Brazil, elected as federal deputy for São Paulo with the Pessoal Party. Indigenous leader Sonia Guajarara is the first Indigenous deputy of São Paulo. The landless rural workers movement succeeded in electing six members to state and federal offices who have vowed to promote people's agrarian reform and a popular project for Brazil.
