Brazil's electoral authority, the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE), temporarily suspended the counting of votes on Sunday, October 25, after a Supreme Court judge ordered that voting hours across the country be extended by two hours. Before the count was suspended, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva led right-wing contender Flavio Bolsonaro with 57.66% of the valid vote against Bolsonaro's 42.34%, according to TSE data. The break came after 0.25% of the ballots had been counted.
