nbcnews.com —

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was re-elected for a historic fourth term, defeating far-right opponent Flavio Bolsonaro, who refused to concede and demanded the results be annulled. Bolsonaro's challenge follows a Supreme Court ruling that extended voting by two hours, which he cited as grounds for invalidating the election. Lula's victory marks a significant political shift in Brazil. The election outcome extends Lula's long political career, having previously served as president from 2003 to 2010. His return to office signals a major change in Brazil's leadership direction.
