Lula Wins Fourth Term in Dramatic Brazilian Election Comeback
Brazilian leftist leader Lula has won a fourth presidential term, securing 51.79 percent of the vote in a dramatic turnaround after losing the first round.
The result makes him the first president elected after a first-round defeat since Brazil returned to civilian rule in 1985.
His victory reverses the outcome of the opening ballot, with Lula ultimately winning the support of just over half of voters.
The comeback marks a milestone in Brazil’s post-1985 electoral history, giving the leftist leader another term in office despite his initial setback.
