Lula surpassed 64 million votes and broke the historical record for electoral support in Brazil

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva secured victory in the Brazilian presidential runoff election, obtaining 64,256,232 votes, which represents 51.79% of the valid ballots. This result marks a record-breaking figure in his political career. His opponent, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro of the Liberal Party, received 59,826,041 votes.

Following the announcement of the results, Flávio Bolsonaro refused to acknowledge the outcome and announced plans to challenge the election. He cited the decision by a judge to extend voting hours by two hours as the primary basis for his refusal to recognize the victory.
