Lula da Silva was re-elected president of Brazil One of the founders of the center-left party, Lula da Silva, who was president of Brazil between 2003-2010 and since 2023, has been re-elected to this position. He became the first candidate in the country's history to win after losing in the first round. Almost 52% of voters voted for him. His opponent, a senator from the Liberal Party, far-right politician Flavio Bolsonaro, who won the first round of the 2026 elections, won the support of 48% of Brazilians in the second round. At the same time, Bolsonaro was sometimes ahead of da Silva. The latter has already been congratulated for his victory by the leaders of Cuba, Mexico and Uruguay. Bolsonaro, referring to the election results, announced that the results were not recognized. He accused the Federal Supreme Court, which serves as the Central Election Commission, of changing the election rules and announced the removal of party observers. Entering his third term, Lula da Silva described his main goal as "rebuilding the country from the ruins." During his previous reign, the state's role in the economy was strengthened, social programs expanded and public investments increased. However, this also led to a significant increase in the budget deficit. Da Silva aims to move the budget gradually from the deficit, while rejecting extreme cuts in spending.
