Lula says the 2nd round will have 'a lot of debate on TV and the internet': 'I'm becoming the selfie king'

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), candidate for re-election, stated this Friday (9) that the second round will have “a lot of debate on TV and the internet” and joked that he is becoming the “selfie king”.

The statement was made during a campaign walk in Ceilândia, in the Federal District, alongside Leandro Grass (PT), candidate for the DF government.

"Now I'm becoming the selfie king, internet user. You can get ready. Let's go Lula, let's go Grass", said Lula.

The statement comes after Lula's campaign decided to intensify the president's activities on social media in the second round.

The PT member started making informal videos and said he needed to dedicate more time to the networks and give more interviews to radio stations.

In the first round, Lula finished the dispute behind Flávio Bolsonaro (PL). Flávio had 47.03% of the valid votes, and Lula, 45.16%. The two will face each other again at the polls on October 25th.

During his speech in Ceilândia, Lula also stated that he believes he will win the second round and mentioned Banco Master and BRB again.

"Rest assured, we will win these elections. You can be sure: this country will not return to fascism, Covid killers, this country will not be governed by Banco Master, Vorcaro, this country will not be governed by those who stole the BRB", he stated.
