Bolsonaro lost, Lula became president of Brazil for the fourth time

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won Brazil's presidential election, securing his fourth term with approximately 52% of the votes against Flávio Bolsonaro's 48%. Lula's victory was unexpected as Bolsonaro led in the first round. Lula, who will begin his new term on January 5, promised to collaborate with the conservative congress and enhance social participation in decision-making. Despite Flávio Bolsonaro's claims of election irregularities, analysts believe the election results will stand due to Lula's significant margin. Lula's return follows his imprisonment for corruption, with his previous convictions annulled. He faces challenges from a conservative-dominated parliament and a sluggish economy. The election involved around 159 million voters, marking a significant political moment in Brazil.
