Lula Declared Winner of Brazil’s Presidential Election

Brazil’s electoral court has declared President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva the winner of the presidential election, securing what would be his fourth non-consecutive term in office. The result followed an extension of voting hours and a closely contested race against Senator Flávio Bolsonaro. Lula’s supporters celebrated in São Paulo after the vote count was completed. The victory keeps Brazil under a left-of-centre government and is expected to shape the country’s relationship with the United States and the wider Latin American region. Lula’s new term is due to begin in January 2027.
