Brazilians vote to elect president

Brazil began voting yesterday in a divisive presidential run-off election whose front-runner, far-right former army captain Jair Bolsonaro, is vowing to rescue the country from crisis with a firm grip. Bolsonaro faces leftist Fernando Haddad, a former Sao Paulo mayor, who is trailing Bolsonaro by at least 10 points margin. The results are expected around 2300 GMT.
