Lula defeats Bolsonaro in Brazil's nail-biting runoff election

Incumbent President Lula has won Brazil's election, according to preliminary results, defeating radical-right candidate Flávio Bolsonaro in a tight runoff race. The contest required a second round after Bolsonaro won the first round despite Lula leading in polls. Lula's victory signals a return to a left-wing agenda, including social programs for the poor, while Bolsonaro advocated free markets and tough policing. Voting hours were extended by the Supreme Court to 7 PM local time after both candidates requested more time, citing bus problems in nine states and heavy rain in the south.
