PoliticsBrazil: Candidate merchandise craze takes off ahead of elections

Nearly 159 million Brazilians will vote on Sunday in general elections to choose a new lower house, renew two-thirds of the Senate and, most importantly, elect their next president. Although voting is secret, political loyalties are visible across Rio de Janeiro, where flags and merchandise supporting President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and rival Flavio Bolsonaro are driving strong business for vendors.
