On Sunday, Brazilians elected their first female president, 62 year-old Dilma Rousseff, who served as former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's Chief of Staff for the last five years.
Brazil faces a presidential runoff after ruling party candidate Dilma Rouseff failed to claim the 50 per cent of the vote required for overall victory.
