Miracles exist, but you have to work for them: the behind-the-scenes story of Lula's astonishing comeback
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva achieved an unprecedented victory in Brazil's presidential elections, defeating Jair Bolsonaro after a close first round. Lula garnered 51.79% of the votes, overcoming a two-point deficit from the first round. His campaign successfully attracted millions of voters who had previously abstained or voted differently. Bolsonaro, who questioned the election results and announced plans to contest them, saw his support diminish across all states. Lula's emotional response to the election results highlighted his long political career and the significance of this victory. The outcome raises questions about the future of the Bolsonaro family in politics, as they face challenges in maintaining influence. Lula now prepares to form a new government while celebrating his historic win.
