Lula wins fourth term in dramatic Brazil election comeback
Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has won a fourth term in office in a dramatic comeback over his right-wing challenger Flávio Bolsonaro.
Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva secured a fourth term in office in a dramatic election victory over his right-wing challenger Flávio Bolsonaro. Lula garnered 51.79% of the votes, making him the first president since 1985 to win after losing the first round of voting. Upon winning, Lula praised the result as a "loss for negativity, lies" and urged for "long live democracy."
However, Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of the former president Jair Bolsonaro, has refused to recognize the outcome and called for it to be annulled, a move that appears unlikely to succeed.
