Article Context

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has won Brazil's presidential runoff with over 51% of the vote, defeating Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro and securing a fourth nonconsecutive term. Bolsonaro called the result inexplicable and said he would seek to annul the vote. The article credits Lula's message of continuity and social spending, notes the chaotic election day with extended voting hours, and says Lula will govern a sharply divided country.
