Sao Paulo, Sep 25 (EFE).- Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who is standing for re-election in the Oct. 2 elections, said Sunday that a victory for former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in the first round is “impossible,” despite several polls pointing to the contrary.

“Will he win in the first round? I see it as difficult, not difficult, impossible, impossible and full stop,” said the far-right leader, who polls place at a disadvantage of between 10 points and 15 points a week before the elections compared to Lula.

Some electoral polls predict Lula could be elected president on the same day, without the need for a second round, by projecting he will manage to win 50 percent of votes.

However, Bolsonaro said he “does not believe much” in the polls and said he trusts that he will be the candidate to win in the first round because, in his opinion, Lula “does not take people out on the streets.”
