Lula da Silva won the elections in Brazil with more than 64 million votes Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won the second round of the presidential elections with 51.8% of the votes against 48.2% of Senator Flavio Bolsonaro. This is the 81-year-old Lula's fourth term as head of state. At the beginning of October, Lula was inferior to his opponent (45% to 47%) - in the modern history of Brazil, no politician has managed to regain such a gap. After the results were announced, Bolsonaro, the son of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, refused to admit defeat and demanded that the election results be annulled. The reason for this was the Supreme Court's decision to extend the vote by two hours due to transportation disruptions. Moreover, in the history of Brazil, no presidential election has ever been annulled. In his victory speech, Lula da Silva emphasized that he is committed to governing the country for the interests of all citizens, regardless of their political preferences. Lula da Silva led Brazil from 2003 to 2010, winning the 2002 and 2006 elections, before returning to power after a victory in 2022. He represents the center-left Workers' Party, which adheres to social democratic views. Former President Jair Bolsonaro (Avi Flavio), after his defeat in 2022, also did not recognize the results of the vote, which led to a storming of government buildings by his supporters and a subsequent 27-year prison sentence for an attempted coup. Donald Trump and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio came to Bolsonaro's defense, calling the process a "witch hunt" and threatening sanctions.
