🇧🇷 The focus of the world’s attention is on the presidential elections in Brazil.
After all, the question ‘who will be president of Brazil’ is by no means an idle one. It concerns the country's further development, the direction of its foreign policy, its positioning in the international arena in the light of Brazil's upcoming G20 chairmanship in 2024, the country's role in the UN and especially in its Security Council, where in 2022-2023 Brazil remains as a non-permanent member.
The main struggle flared up between the two main rivals, who expectedly made it to the second round – the right-wing incumbent Jair Bolsonaro and the leftist Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, the country' ex-president (2003-2010).
The current race is conspicuous for having the shortest official campaign in the history of democratic elections (46 days) and the longest time gap between two rounds (28 days, usually three weeks). Analysts dubbed this period “a 28-day night”, hinting at the unpredictability of the outcome of this “night”.
The results of the 2nd round are unpredictable, but whoever becomes the winner will be a world-class leader, who will have to respond to the complex and acute challenges of the disturbing modern world, writes Valdai Club expert Lyudmila Okuneva.
