Lula da Silva was the most elected Brazilian presidential candidate in Australia and New Zealand, while current head of state Jair Bolsonaro repeated his 2018 victory in East Timor, according to preliminary results.
The results of the poll in the three countries were, as usual, posted at the polling stations after the poll.
According to data obtained by Lusa, Lula got 701 votes to 223 for Jair Bolsonaro in the vote in Australia and won in New Zealand with 328 votes, against 71 votes for Jair Bolsonaro.
In East Timor, as in 2018, Jair Bolsonaro was the most voted candidate of the 65 voters (out of 91 registered) who traveled to the Brazilian embassy in Dili this Sunday.
Bolsonaro received 37 votes, against 18 for Lula da Silva, six for Ciro Gomes, three for Simone Tebet and one for Felipe d’Avila.
In the 2018 elections, Bolsonaro had already won by a wide margin, with 41 votes to just two for Fernando Haddad (in the first round) and 27 votes in the second round against Haddad’s 11.
