Bolsonaro's party concedes Brazil election, but he contests Lula's win

naftemporiki.gr (Greek) —

Brazil's Liberal Party (PL) of President Jair Bolsonaro recognized the presidential election result on Monday, despite Bolsonaro himself not formally conceding defeat to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The party acknowledged the outcome declared by the Supreme Electoral Court but requested "clarifications" regarding social benefits Lula approved during the campaign. Bolsonaro had announced plans to challenge the vote, later shifting to seek Lula's candidacy annulment over alleged abuse of power. Lula secured a fourth presidential term with 51.79% of the vote against Bolsonaro's 48.21%, according to official results.
