Credit: Reuters/Ricardo Moraes By Brian Winter and Todd Benson SAO PAULO | Mon Oct 4, 2010 12:35am EDT SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Ruling party candidate Dilma Rousseff placed a strong first in Brazil's presidential election on Sunday but will face a runoff after some voters were turned off at the last minute by a corruption scandal and her views on social issues. Rousseff, a former Marxist guerrilla who was handpicked by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to continue the center-left economic policies that have made Brazil one of the world's hottest emerging markets, won 46.9 percent of the valid votes. She had needed 50 percent to avoid a runoff on October 31 so she will now go up against her nearest rival, former Sao Paulo state governor Jose Serra, who won 32.6 percent of the votes. An unexpected late surge by a third candidate, the Green Party's Marina Silva, came largely at Rousseff's expense. Silva had 19.3 percent of valid ballots and her supporters will now be a highly prized voting bloc in the second round. Rousseff is favored to win the runoff and become the first woman to lead Brazil, although Serra now has four more weeks to rally support and chip away at her lead. A first-round victory would have given Rousseff a stronger mandate to push through reforms such as changes to Brazil's onerous tax laws. Visibly disappointed, the 62-year-old Rousseff sought to put a positive spin on the outcome, telling supporters that a second round would give her more time to detail her proposals. "We are warriors, and we're accustomed to challenges," she said in a speech in Brasilia, flanked by her running mate and her party's top brass. "We do well in second rounds." Her campaign has been helped by red-hot economic growth and Lula's constant support. Neither Rousseff nor Serra is seen deviating from the mix of social programs and investor-friendly policies that have made Lula wildly popular, helping Brazilian markets to rally in the run-up to the vote. Yet recent allegations of a kickback scheme involving a former top aide to Rousseff, plus questions among evangelical Christians about her positions on abortion and other social issues, appear to have instilled just enough doubt in voters' minds to cost her a first-round victory. Rousseff had spent the past month well above the 50 percent support level in pre-election polls, and the disappointing performance is likely to revive questions about her relative lack of charisma and thin executive experience. Valdeci Baiao da Silva, a security officer in Brasilia, said the good economic times had made him a Lula supporter -- but he voted for Serra because Rousseff seemed unprepared. "I think she might even disappoint (Lula)," he said. At a church service in Brasilia, Pastor Otaviano Miguel da Silva urged his followers not to vote for candidates from Rousseff's ruling Workers' Party because "it approves of homosexuality, lesbianism, and is in favor of abortion." Brazil is overwhelmingly Catholic, but evangelicals are growing in number and pre-election polls showed them abandoning Rousseff in significant numbers as the vote grew closer. Green Party candidate Silva, herself an evangelical, appeared to be the main beneficiary of the last-minute shift. 1 2 Next World Brazil Comments See All Comments (2) | Post Comment Oct 03, 2010 10:40pm EDT Rousseff has proven unable to govern Brazil as evidenced by his performance in recent broadcasted debates in Brazilian TV channels and involvement with corruption scandals. The Worker´s Party is a unanimity due its assistance programs providing instantaneous help for those in need (a large portion of the population kept in ignorance for obvious reasons). It scares the more intellectual classes since Brazil is becoming a institutionalized beggers country. Lula also scares for his recent rapprochement with dictators like Fidel Castro,Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. A huge dispute with possible very serious consequences for the future of Brazil. On one corner Lula, Rousseff and their dangerous policies and sinister alliances. On the other corner those able to see beyond the first layers of their history and capable to predict the consequences on the years to come. MauricioHouse Report As Abusive Oct 04, 2010 2:37am EDT Lula has bought votes by giving hand outs to all, and risks killing Brasil before it even starts to really become a power. Brasil needs a Thatcher like President who can force some tough decisions and also simplify the ridiculously complicated tax rules, which cost so much to comply with, but lead to little revenue to the gov..
