Lula defeats Bolsonaro to win historic fourth term as Brazil's president
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva defeated far-right opponent Flávio Bolsonaro to win a historic fourth term as Brazil's president, reversing a first-round defeat. Bolsonaro refused to concede and requested the results be annulled. Bolsonaro cited a supreme court justice's decision to extend voting hours as grounds for canceling the result, echoing his father Jair Bolsonaro's refusal to accept defeat in 2020. Analysts say world leaders recognizing Lula's win make overturning the outcome unlikely. Lula, Brazil's first elected working-class leader, caps a 50-year political career with this victory. His win is seen as a rebuke to the far right, following his previous efforts to help millions escape poverty.
