(COMBO) This combination of pictures created on May 4, 2022, ex-Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (L) gestures during a meeting with members of the Rede Party in Brasilia, on April 28, 2022, to discuss the party’s support for Lula’s candidacy for president in the upcoming October elections, and another of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro smiling during the Brazilian Army Day celebration at the Army headquarters in Brasilia on April 19, 2022. – According to a mid-December poll, President Jair Bolsonaro, was getting crushed in the race for Brazil’s October elections, trailing his nemesis, ex-president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, so badly it seemed he might lose in the first round. But since then, the far-right incumbent has staged a turnaround, so much so that political analysts now say he could yet come from behind to win a new four-year term. Bolsonaro is seeking reelection while Lula de Silva is scheduled to officially launch his candidacy on May 7 at a rally in Sao Paulo.
