Lula da Silva is said to get 72.9% of valid votes in New Zealand, 1st country to complete voting

The first country to conclude voting for president, New Zealand gave “victory” to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

Of the 451 valid votes in Wellington, 329 went to the PT candidate, who thus obtained 72.9% of the valid votes, excluding white and null votes.

Jair Bolsonaro (PL) won 71 or 15.7% of the total valid votes in the city.

Ciro Gomes (PDT) got 23 votes, or 5.1% of the valid votes, while Simone Tebet (MDB) got eight or 1.8% of the valid votes.

The senator, who disputed the third place in Saturday’s polls, was behind the New candidate in Wellington: Felipe D’ávila added 11 votes in the country (2.4% of the valid votes) and Father Kelmon (PTB), three votes.

The data were obtained from the ballot papers posted outside the embassy, like any other polling station.

The TSE will only officially release the data after voting closed in Brazil.

Still, members of the Brazilian community took pictures of these ballot papers and posted them on social networks and to friends and relatives.
