Candidate Jair Bolsonaro, who`s still recovering from being
stabbed at a rally, has won the first round of Brazil`s Presidential Election.
James Blears reports that he hasn`t won fifty percent or more of the vote, so
it`s on to a second round runoff on October 28th.
In round one of Brazil`s Presidential Election, Jair
Bolsonaro has won 46 percent the vote, just shy of fifty percent
needed for outright victory. While Workers Party Candidate Fernando
Haddad has gained 29 percent. As he cast his vote Congressman
Bolsonaro quoted the Bible saying: "John 8.32. You will know the
truth and the truth will set ye free." Bolsonaro`s taking a hard line
on law and order demanding the death sentence, plus advocating
traditional family values. A month ago, he was almost stabbed to death at a
rally, requiring major surgery.
