Bolsonaro challenges Lula's Brazil election win, seeks annulment

Brazilian presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro refused to accept President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's victory in Sunday's election, announcing he will seek to annul the results over a Supreme Court ruling that extended voting hours by two hours. Lula won a fourth presidential term with 51.8% of the vote against Bolsonaro's 48.2%, a margin of nearly 4.4 million votes. The extension followed requests from both candidates due to disruptions, including withdrawn voter transport buses and heavy rainfall. Lula's victory marks a comeback after losing the first round and defies a regional shift toward conservative leadership. He faces governing a polarized country with a right-dominated Congress, while Bolsonaro's challenge adds political uncertainty.
