Lula wins fourth term in Brazil; Bolsonaro disputes result

Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won Brazil's runoff for a fourth term, and rival Flavio Bolsonaro says he will seek to annul the vote.

Posted Updated (7 d ago)

Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was re-elected Brazil's president in Sunday's runoff, the electoral court said, according to France 24. Official results gave him 51.7% of the vote to Flavio Bolsonaro's 48.2%.

The New York Times reports that a large social media campaign helped Lula win by persuading Brazilians to reject his rival.

Bolsonaro, the son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, has refused to accept the loss. France 24 and NBC News both report he says he will seek to annul the vote. NBC News says he made that call after a Supreme Court ruling extended voting by two hours. The other outlets do not mention that ruling.

France 24 says the result defied polls. Lula is nearly 81. Al Jazeera reports he thanked Brazil's young people after the win.

France 24 says he now faces a divided country, a Congress that is not on his side, weak public finances and a threat linked to U.S. President Donald Trump. BBC News notes Lula has at times been at odds with Trump.
