Lula da Silva Wins Historic Fourth Term as Brazil's President

Incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva secured a historic fourth term by defeating Senator Flavio Bolsonaro with 51.75% of the vote on Sunday.

Lula staged a campaign turnaround after trailing Bolsonaro by 2.2 million votes in the first round, focusing on his opponent's tenure and using social media.

The election saw a two-hour voting extension ordered by Supreme Justice Cristiano Zanin following campaign challenges over public transportation access.
