Lula da Silva was re-elected president of Brazil for a fourth term. In the second round he defeated Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, the eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro. Results: Luis Inacio Lula da Silva - 51.79% (64.26 million votes). Flavio Bolsonaro - 48.21% (59.83 million votes). Lula was ahead of his opponent by more than 4.4 million votes. More than 158 million Brazilians had the right to vote, of which 128.2 million went to the polls. The results were announced by Brazil's Supreme Electoral Court. Flavio Bolsonaro does not admit defeat and promises to demand the annulment of the results. He refers to the decision of the Supreme Court, which extended the voting by two hours. AFP reports that Lula asked to extend the vote due to problems with public transport, and Flavio Bolsonaro - because of heavy rains. The Reuters news agency writes that Flavio Bolsonaro will not admit defeat - just like his father Jairus after losing the 2022 elections. Zafer was later sentenced to 27 years in prison for an attempted coup. The elections were held against the background of Brazilian dissatisfaction with high prices, public debt, corruption and crime. Although unemployment and inequality have fallen, some people believe the economy is growing too slowly. Photo: Reuters.
