Lula Re-elected in Brazil; Bolsonaro Challenges Result, Trump Claims Rigged Vote

Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has been re-elected, but his opponent Jair Bolsonaro is contesting the result, alleging irregularities. Former US President Donald Trump called the vote "rigged." Bolsonaro said he will request the annulment of the vote, citing a two-hour extension of polling station closures. However, the presidents of both chambers of Congress had already ratified Lula's victory, and Bolsonaro has been ordered to surrender his passports. International reactions were mixed, with congratulations from Italy, the EU, France, Spain, Germany, China, Russia, India, and Iran. Italian politicians from the center-left celebrated the win, while Trump's comments drew criticism from some Italian leaders.
