Brazil’s polarized vote divided along regional and social lines

Brazil’s presidential election had a clear regional and social divide in the first-round ballot.

Former president Lula da Silva was the winner in Brazil’s poorer north and northeastern regions.

Bolsonaro got more votes in Brazil’s more developed south and southeastern areas.

CGTN’s Paulo Cabral went to cities in both regions to examine the politics behind Brazil’s regional split.
