Lula has won a fourth term as president of Brazil, completing a dramatic comeback in the country’s election after initially falling behind Flávio Bolsonaro.
The left-wing incumbent had lost the first round of voting to Bolsonaro, who is identified as a right-wing challenger. Lula subsequently secured victory in the election, returning to office for another term.
The result represents a significant reversal from the opening round, when Bolsonaro led the contest. It places Lula at the centre of Brazil’s political direction for a fourth term after overcoming his initial deficit.
The supplied information does not provide further details about the margin of victory, turnout, the timing of the result or statements from either candidate. Lula’s victory is the latest known development in the election.
