Brazil's presidential runoff is too close to call, with incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva narrowly ahead of Flávio Bolsonaro as votes are counted. At 10.87% counted, Lula had 50.41% to Bolsonaro's 49.59%, with Lula's support base in the northeast leading early (Chosun Ilbo). By 50% counted, Lula led 50.14% to 49.86% (Chosun Ilbo), and at 69.92% counted, Reuters reported Lula ahead by a slim margin (Kyunghyang Shinmun). A pollster declared Lula's victory likely, per Maeil Business and Yonhap. Voting was extended by two hours in some areas (Kyunghyang Shinmun).
