Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has been declared the winner of Brazil's presidential runoff election by the nation's electoral tribunal, securing a fourth term in office. Preliminary results indicated Lula led with 57.6% of the vote compared to 42.3% for his opponent, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro. Following the announcement, Lula expressed gratitude to the electorate and emphasized national sovereignty, stating that Brazil is not the backyard of any other nation.
Contesting the outcome, Flávio Bolsonaro has refused to recognize the results. The opposition candidate cited a judicial decision to extend voting hours by two hours as the basis for his refusal to accept the electoral tribunal's declaration of victory for the incumbent.
