On the morning of September 17, Flávio Bolsonaro, the presidential candidate from the Liberal Party (PL), participated in a rally in Vitória, Espírito Santo. The event began on Avenida Dante Michelini and covered approximately 2 kilometers, following a sound truck that moved from the Iemanjá Pier to the Officers' Club in Jardim da Penha. The candidate was accompanied by Lorenzo Pazolini, the gubernatorial candidate for the state from the Republicans.

The next day, September 18, Flávio Bolsonaro was in Avenida Paulista, São Paulo, for a rally. This event took place a week before the second round of the presidential elections. According to estimates, the rally gathered around 71,900 people, according to the methodology of the Political Debate Monitor at USP/Cebrap.

Support for Flávio Bolsonaro was also observed in Goiânia, where demonstrators gathered on Avenida Ricardo Paranhos to express their support for the candidate in an event that started around 9:30 AM, featuring a walk and vehicle parades.

In Juiz de Fora, more supporters of the presidential candidate gathered at Praça Jarbas de Lery Santos. They took part in an event that included flags and T-shirts supporting the candidate, reflecting mobilization efforts in various regions of Brazil.

Meanwhile, supporters of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the reelection candidate from the Workers' Party (PT), also organized demonstrations in several cities, coinciding with Flávio Bolsonaro's schedule. Both groups mobilized in parallel, drawing attention from the public and the media as they fought for their electoral goals.

The fierce competition between the two candidates is reflected in the intense campaign activity and the mobilization of supporters, with the situation intensifying as the countdown to the second round of elections set for September 25 continues.
