"Historic turnaround". Lula promises to "govern for 215 million", Bolsonaro contests defeat
Lula da Silva has been re-elected as Brazil's president, marking his fourth term with over 64 million votes. He emphasized governing for all citizens and addressing issues like big tech regulation and public safety. Meanwhile, Flávio Bolsonaro contests the election results, claiming irregularities due to a last-minute extension of voting hours by the Supreme Court. Despite this, the electoral process was validated by the Attorney General's Office, which confirmed the integrity of the election.
