Brazil Election Results | Lula Da Silva Wins Historic Fourth Term, Vows To Govern People Of Brazil

Brazilian re-elected President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva made history on Sunday (October 25) after winning the runnoff and a fourth non-consecutive term in office. During his remarks in Sao Paulo, Lula vowed to govern for all Brazilians, and said he would make the people part of his government’s decisions. Lula defeated his challenger right-wing Senator Flavio Bolsonaro in a shock result that defied polls, precedent and global anti-incumbent sentiment to put the brakes on a wave of right-wing election victories across Latin America. The senator, who led the election's first round but lost in the runoff by over 4 million votes, said he would ask for the result to be annulled due to a Sunday Supreme Court ruling that extended voting for two hours.
