Bolsonaro questions the result: "It is impossible to recognize these elections, we will ask for annulment"

Flávio Bolsonaro, defeated by Lula in Brazil's elections, announced plans to contest the results, claiming they were abnormal. Lula won with 51.78% against Bolsonaro's 48.22%, marking a historic comeback after losing the first round. Bolsonaro criticized the election process, particularly the last-minute extension of voting hours by the Supreme Court, which he deemed unacceptable. Lula's victory speech highlighted external interference in the elections and emphasized the need for regulation of digital platforms. He framed his win as a rejection of misinformation and denialism, promising to govern until 2031.
