'Tropical Trump' Wins Landslide Victory In Brazil's 'Run-Off' Presidential Election

As largely expected - and likely priced in - 'far-right' congressman Jair Bolsonaro, aka 'Tropical Trump', has won the Brazilian Presidential election in a run-off vote against the socialist "Workers Party" candidate, Fernando Haddad.

The latest tally with over 96% of the vote in is 55.54% Bolsonaro, 44.46% Haddad.

It took just 15 minutes between first exit poll/first official result and knowing the name of the winner.

Jair Bolsonaro's party, PSL, celebrates his victory and thanks all voters:

"Thanks, Brazil! To you, voters, we thank you very much for all the support, dedication and, mainly, for the confidence! A new Brazil is now born, without divisions, much more fair, without corruption. A happier Brazil! The change is only beginning and you are part of it!"
