By Lisandra Paraguassu CURITIBA, Brazil (Reuters) - Brazil's most popular politician, imprisoned former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, on Tuesday ended his legal battle to run for the top office in next month's election. Senator Gleisi Hoffmann, head of the leftist Workers Party (PT) that Lula founded, made the announcement in the southern city of Curitiba, where Lula has been jailed on corruption charges since April. Lula had stepped aside to allow running mate Fernando Haddad to stand for the presidency, Hoffman said.
