You are mostly correct, but a bit misinformed in two topics. One, the favourite in all the credible polls is Lula. Second, the impeachment of Dilma was due to irregular monetary policy, while Lula was investigated for unrelated corruption charges. And please do not forget to mention that Lula's guilty verdict was invalidated on the basis that the judge was himself corrupt- so now Lula is presumed innocent.

No, firstly the legal system changed and the veredicts given were considered insufficient for conviction. Then, they were annulled based on being outside the court's jurisdiction.

So Lula was still corrupt as all hell, it was just that he was convicted in the wrong court..
