  "summary": "Senator Flavio Bolsonaro announced on Sunday that he will not concede defeat to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who has secured a fourth non-consecutive term. According to Business Recorder, the senator intends to seek an annulment of the runoff election, calling a Supreme Court ruling by Justice Cristiano Zanin that extended voting for two hours \"unacceptable.\"\n\nThe presidential runoff involved nearly 160 million Brazilians. In the first round held on October 4, Bolsonaro received 47.03% of the vote compared to Lula’s 45.16%. MercoPress notes that since Brazil returned to direct presidential elections in 1989, no candidate who placed second in the first round has gone on to win the presidency.",
