Left-wing incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will face his right-wing rival Flávio Bolsonaro in the second round of voting on Sunday
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's campaign has requested the disqualification of right-wing challenger Flávio Bolsonaro in the lead up to the final round of the presidential election on Sunday over alleged interference by social media company Meta.
In a petition filed to the country's top electoral court on Wednesday, the leftist incumbent president accused Meta, the tech giant behind Whatsapp, Instagram and Facebook, of limiting its content to boost Bolsonaro's campaign.
Lula's campaign had previously filed a complaint alleging that accounts and content related to Bolsonaro were boosted.
