  "summary": "Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has won an unprecedented fourth term as Brazil's president, defeating Senator Flávio Bolsonaro in a runoff election. According to Investing.com, Lula received approximately 51.8% of the vote compared to 48.2% for Bolsonaro. Malay Mail reported the specific breakdown as 51.75% for Lula and 48.25% for Bolsonaro. The Indian Express noted that Lula's lead represented nearly 4.4 million votes.\n\nThe election was marked by a last-minute Supreme Court ruling that extended voting by two hours. The Indian Express reported that both candidates requested the extension; Lula's team cited bus problems in São Paulo and Salvador, while Bolsonaro's team requested it due to heavy rain in southern Brazil. Flavio Bolsonaro has refused to concede and vowed to seek an annulment of the runoff over this extension, according to the Jerusalem Post.\n\nLula's new term is scheduled to begin on January 5, 2027, and he will serve from 2027 to 2030, according to Investing.com and The Indian Express. The president, who is nearly 81 years old, will face a Congress dominated by Bolsonaro’s Liberal Party.",
