Brazil's Liberal Party concedes Lula's election win as Bolsonaro vows opposition

Brazil's Liberal Party has conceded President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's victory in the presidential election, granting him a fourth term, despite its candidate Flavio Bolsonaro's continued demands to annul the results. Lula won 51.8% of the vote against Bolsonaro's 48.2%, a margin of about 4.4 million votes, according to official results. The party acknowledged the outcome as declared by the electoral court but said objections to the voting process warrant democratic discussion. Bolsonaro protested the two-hour voting extension, calling it a "dirty trick." US President Donald Trump questioned the election's integrity, calling it "terrible" and "rigged." Meanwhile, Bolsonaro announced he has been barred from leaving Brazil amid a corruption investigation and declared he will lead the opposition, echoing his father Jair Bolsonaro's rejection of the 2022 election results.
