Daniel Stewart - Yesterday
Former Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has stated that "the time has come" for the Workers' Party (PT), of which both she and former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva are members, to return to govern Brazil after exercising her right to vote in the second round of the presidential elections to be held this Sunday.

Rousseff voted in the morning at a school in the region of Pampulha, in Belo Horizonte, accompanied by state deputies of her party.
"I have a great expectation of victory. When I left the Planalto Palace because of that absolutely illegal and fraudulent 'impeachment' I said we would return. For me today is the day. The time has come to return," he said, according to the newspaper 'Folha de Sao Paulo'.
The former president has stressed that the PT's specialty is to win elections in second round and they failed to do so in 2018 only because Lula was not the candidate. "In Lula's two elections and in my two elections we never won in the first round. We always came in just. But the people always won in the second round," he has reviewed.
Rousseff was received by PT supporters. There were also supporters of the candidate Jair Bolsonaro who launched proclamations in favor of the current president.
