Another bumpy week ahead as Trudeau faces deadlines from Liberal MPs, Bloc
Another week, another raft of imminent challenges to Justin Trudeau's leadership of both the country and the Liberal Party.
Voters in Brazil鈥檚 biggest city, Sao Paulo, started going to the polls Sunday in a mayoral race pitting incumbent Mayor Ricardo Nunes against leftist lawmaker Guilherme Boulos.
Nunes has lukewarm support from former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro while Boulos is an ally of President Luiz In谩cio Lula da Silva. Different polls published Saturday showed Nunes, who inherited the mayorship after Bruno Covas died of cancer in 2021, is the favorite to win. His advantage against Boulos is greater than the margin of error of the Datafolha and Quaest polls.

Boulos, in a last-ditch effort for exposure, on Friday accepted an invitation to debate self-help guru turned far-right politician Pablo Mar莽al, who finished third in the first round of voting on Oct. 7. At the end of the debate, Mar莽al urged his voters not to vote Sunday. Lower turnout could work against Nunes.
Most of the attention in this year's round of municipal elections in Brazil has been on Sao Paulo, where the race was marred by episodes of violence involving Mar莽al in the first round of voting. Boulos, a longtime housing advocate for the poor, has been campaigning nonstop to avoid his second consecutive defeat in the race.
Other Brazilian cities with more than 200,000 registered voters are also holding mayoral elections.
In Rio de Janeiro, incumbent Mayor Eduardo Paes was reelected in the first round of voting for his fourth, non-consecutive term. Paes, an enthusiastic fan of Carnival, had Lula鈥檚 support but focused his campaign on local issues against Bolsonaro鈥檚 candidate, Alexandre Ramagem.
Brazilians will be also watching closely for results in Belo Horizonte, one of the country鈥檚 biggest cities, where polls suggest Mayor Fuad Noman faces a close race with pro-Bolsonaro candidate Bruno Engler.
The vote in Fortaleza, another of the nation鈥檚 biggest cities, is in a dead heat between the candidate from Lula's Workers' Party, Evandro Leit茫o, and pro-Bolsonaro challenger Andr茅 Fernandes.
