RIO DE JANEIRO - Tens of thousands of supporters of Brazil's leftwing president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, streamed onto Rio's most famous beach for a large protest, according to The Guardian's report on the rally. The outlet said the demonstrators hope the gathering will propel Lula toward a "historic election fightback" against his far-right rival, Flávio Bolsonaro.

The Guardian reported that nearly 159 million people are set to go to the polls on Sunday in a battle between the leftwing incumbent and Flávio Bolsonaro. The summary of the report was cut off before its final paragraphs, so the full article may contain further figures and detail.

The article is credited to Tom Phillips in Rio de Janeiro and Tiago Rogero in Belo Horizonte. The material available for this account does not state how many people attended beyond the description of tens of thousands, and it does not describe speeches, the route of the march, or any response from either candidate. Those details, if reported, appear only in the full text of The Guardian's article.

The Guardian's headline places the rally on the eve of the runoff, and the outlet describes the vote as a contest between an incumbent and a far-right challenger. The report, as summarized here, does not forecast a result, and this account does not offer one.

Because the summary is incomplete, the figures in this account are limited to those The Guardian stated.
