Brazilians are still reflecting on the results of Sunday's Presidential election, where incumbent Jair Bolsonaro defied opinion polls in the first round.
Left-wing Luiz Inácio ‘Lula’ da Silva came out on top with 48 percent of the votes, but the far-right Bolsonaro outperformed pollsters’ predictions to take 43 percent of the tally.
He will now face a runoff later this month against Lula da Silva.
