Lula’s popularity has slipped in his third non-consecutive term
BRASILIA - Centrist and center-right parties won city halls and consolidated control of town councils across Brazil in Sunday's municipal elections, underscoring a conservative shift in the country's electorate as the ruling Workers Party lost ground.
Candidates associated with former hard-right President Jair Bolsonaro fared better than those backed by leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro's Liberal Party won in two state capitals and went to runoff elections in nine cities. Incumbent mayors won in half of the state capitals in Sunday's first-round vote, which helped more conservative parties entrenched by corruption scandals and economic struggles that have reshaped Brazilian politics over the past decade.
Lula, whose popularity has slipped in his third non-consecutive term, is expected to run for re-election. Bolsonaro was banned from running for elected office until 2030 for his baseless attacks on Brazil's voting system when president.
