Brazil vote goes to runoff as Rousseff falls short
DAWN Mon, 04 Oct 2010 07:30:00 PKT
SAO PAULO: Ruling party candidate Dilma Rousseff placed a strong first in Brazil's presidential election on Sunday, but she will face a runoff after some voters were turned off at the last minute by a corruption scandal and her views on social issues. Rousseff, a former Marxist guerrilla who was handpicked by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to continue the center-left economic policies that have made Brazil one of the world's hottest emerging markets, had 46.7 per cent of valid votes with 99 per cent of ballots counted. That result left her unable to get the 50 per cent of valid votes she needed to avoid a runoff vote between the top two candidates on Oct. 31, election regulators said. Rousseff will face her nearest rival, former Sao Paulo state governor Jose Serra, who won 32.7 per cent of the votes. An unexpected late surge by a third candidate, the Green Party's Marina Silva, came largely at Rousseff's expense. Silva had 19.4 per cent of valid ballots and her........
Brazil election goes to second round
GUARDIAN Mon, 04 Oct 2010 05:25:15 GMT
Presidential candidates face runoff after Green surge scuppers outright win for Lula's pick as successor Dilma Rousseff A late surge by the Green party candidate forced Brazil's presidential election into a second round last night, with president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's favoured candidate narrowly failing to become the nation's first female leader. Exit polls had suggested that Dilma Rousseff, a former leftwing rebel, might still scrape a narrow first-round victory, despite falling away in the polls in recent weeks. But the Workers' party (PT) candidate fell short of the 50% needed, taking 47% of the vote. The Greens' Marina Silva, a former rubber-tapper and staunch defender of the Amazon rainforest, got 19%, while Rousseff's main rival José Serra, the Social Democrat, took nearly 33%. Rousseff will now face Serra in the second round on October 31. Silva, who quit as Lula's environment minister after reputedly falling out with Rousseff, will not dispute the second round.....
