Brazil's polarized election enters last day of campaigning

Brazil is gearing up for the country’s most polarized presidential race in decades on Sunday.

The candidates are in the final day of campaigns, with front-runner Jair Bolsonaro and his closest rival Fernando Haddad making last-minute efforts to woo the voters.

Support for far-right former army captain Bolsonaro has surged on widespread anger over rising crime and a drifting economy. Haddad's support relies on the popularity of his mentor, former president Lula da Silva, who was barred from running due to a corruption conviction.

Final opinion polls on Saturday will show whether Bolsonaro has enough support to win the election outright. If no candidate gets a majority, the race will go to a run-off between the two top candidates on October 28.
