Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has secured a fourth term as Brazil’s president, defeating far-right challenger Flávio Bolsonaro in a runoff, according to The Guardian. Lula received 51.79% of the vote, compared with Bolsonaro’s 48.21%.
The report describes Lula as the first candidate to win a presidential runoff after losing the first round. His victory runs counter to a regional trend following the rise of a radical populist movement led by Bolsonaro, the son of former president Jair Bolsonaro.
Flávio Bolsonaro has refused to concede defeat. The Guardian’s latest audio report features Michael Safi and Latin America correspondent Tom Phillips discussing the result and what comes next for Brazil.
