Terra. 22 May 2013. Retrieved 2 December 2013.〕 Since no candidate in the presidential and several gubernatorial elections received more than 50% of the vote, a second-round runoff was held on 26 October.〔 In the first round of voting Dilma Rousseff won 41.6% of the vote, ahead of Aécio Neves with 33.6% and Marina Silva with 21.3%. Rousseff and Neves contested the runoff on 26 October with Rousseff being re-elected by a narrow margin, 51.6% to Neves' 48.4%. ==Presidential election== Incumbent President Dilma Rousseff of the Workers' Party (PT), Brazil's first female president, was challenged by 11 other candidates, of whom Minas Gerais Senator Aécio Neves from the Brazilian Social Democracy Party (PSDB) and Marina Silva from the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB) were her main rivals. As none of the candidates obtained over 50% of the valid votes on 5 October, a second round was held on 26 October between Rousseff and Neves, who had finished first and second respectively in the 5 Oct vote. In Brazil's closest presidential election results since 1989, Rousseff narrowly defeated Neves in the second round, taking 51.6% of the vote to Neves' 48.4%. The original PSB candidate was Eduardo Campos. However, he died in a plane crash in Santos on 13 August 2014,〔("Presidenciável Eduardo Campos morre em acidente aéreo em Santos (SP)" )〕 after which the party chose Silva, who had been his running mate, to replace him as the party's presidential candidate.〔("Brazil: Marina Silva 'to replace' late candidate Campos" )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brazilian general election, 2014」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
