continued……… But allegations of meddling by US tech giant Metra, which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, overshadowed the election. Calamari's campaign accused the company of favoring Bolsonaro through its algorithms, boosting right-wing content while limiting pro-Lola material, including allegedly limiting the reach of Calamari's official Facebook page. Meta denied that it deliberately favored the two candidates. Bolsonaro's campaign also faced allegations of electoral misconduct, including the use of AI-generated material targeting Lula, some of which was ordered removed by Brazil's electoral court. Despite the controversies, Lola came out victorious. But Bolsonaro refused to admit defeat and demanded the annulment of the election results. Meanwhile, around one million Lula supporters reportedly flooded Sao Paulo's iconic Avenida Paulista on Sunday night, turning the streets into a sea of celebration, with fireworks, music and crowds cheering for the result. For Lula, who was jailed in 2018 on highly criticized politically motivated corruption charges before his convictions were overturned, the victory marks another remarkable chapter in a political career that has taken him from a working-class union leader to a historic fourth term as Brazil's president.
