Lula defeats Bolsonaro in Brazil runoff; rival claims election fraud

Brazilian voters re-elected Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to a fourth presidential term, narrowly defeating Flávio Bolsonaro in Sunday's runoff. The defeated candidate announced he will request the election's annulment, calling the two-hour voting extension "unacceptable." Federal Police are expected to execute an arrest warrant for Pablo Souza, according to local media. Lula won all nine northeastern states, securing 21.49 million votes there against Bolsonaro's 10.40 million, with Bahia a traditional stronghold. Regional electoral authorities ordered bus companies to restore full service in Salvador and provide free transport until polls closed. The Bahia governor, from Lula's Workers' Party, had denounced efforts to block voting after complaints of transport shortages, deploying police to drive buses.
