Lula wins fourth term in Brazil, faces hostile Congress and divided nation

Brazil's left-wing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has won a fourth term, defeating right-wing rival Flávio Bolsonaro in Sunday's run-off election, despite losing the first round in October. Lula's comeback was driven by street demonstrations and a social media push, but he faces a deeply divided nation, with over 48% of voters backing Bolsonaro, and the most right-wing Congress in Brazil's democratic era. The victory is welcomed by environmentalists concerned about Amazon deforestation, though the White House, which prefers conservative leaders in Latin America, may be disappointed. Lula, who will be 85 by term's end, promised a "new way of governing" to bridge political divides.
