Lula wins the elections in Brazil
The candidate Lula da Silva did win against Jair Bolsonaro, with 50.88% of the votes by Brazilians
The left-wing candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (50.88%) won by a narrow margin over his rival and current Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro (49.12%) with 99.63% counted and thus strengthens the options of comeback after a start of the count in which Bolsonaro was ahead.
Lula da Silva was considered the winner of the election shortly before 9 pm, with 98.91% of the vote counted, after receiving more than 59 million votes. Later, the Superior Electoral Tribunal recognized his victory at 12 midnight.
With this result, Bolsonaro becomes the first Brazilian president not to be re-elected after a legislature that began in January 2019 that has been marked, among other issues, by his controversial management of the pandemic.
Election day closes a tense campaign of political violence and polarization for a country that is highly divided and with a president who will be 77 years old when he takes office. It will be his third spell in power after his two terms from 2003-2010.
