Lula created an army of ten million loyalists on social media to win

Lula da Silva's unexpected victory in Brazil's presidential elections halted the ultraconservative wave in Latin America. His campaign mobilized millions through social media, creating a WhatsApp group with ten million members. Lula's ability to adapt and connect with voters, especially in key states like Minas Gerais, Sao Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro, contributed to his success. Despite Bolsonaro's refusal to accept defeat, Lula's win sends a strong message against the inevitability of far-right dominance. The election results highlight Brazil's deep divisions and the challenges ahead for Lula's administration.
