Brazil Presidential Campaigning Starts




Meanwhile, presidential campaigning has officially kicked off in Brazil, with seven candidates running for office. Frontrunner for the October 1 elections is incumbent president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of the PT party, who has weathered a brutal year of political scandal and corruption to survive unscathed. Lula’s nearest rival is the former governor of São Paulo state, social democrat Geraldo Alckmin of the PSDB.
