Lula wins unprecedented fourth term as Brazil's Bolsonaro disputes election result

Brazil's left-wing President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won an unprecedented fourth term in Sunday's election, but rival Jair Bolsonaro's camp has vowed to challenge the result, alleging electoral fraud. Lula credited Brazil's youth for mobilizing to secure his comeback victory, though his governing margin will be tight following conservative gains in legislative elections three weeks ago. The vote was extended by two hours after his team complained voters were blocked by bus removals, a move Bolsonaro's son Flavio denounced as a "scam." The win marks the first time a candidate has overturned a first-round deficit since Brazil's return to democracy, with Lula set to serve until 2030. Bolsonaro, who also refused to concede in 2022 and now serves a 27-year prison sentence, saw his camp allege interference by Meta platforms, which the company denied.
