Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has won Brazil's presidential election, securing a fourth term in office. The incumbent president received approximately 51.8% of the vote in the October 25 runoff election, defeating his opponent who garnered 48.2%. The margin of victory was nearly 4.4 million votes. Lula, 80, represents the left-wing Workers' Party and becomes the first candidate in modern Brazilian history to win the presidency after placing second in the first round of voting. The election campaign was marked by intense confrontation between supporters of the incumbent president and right-wing forces. Lula has been critical of U.S. President Donald Trump and has accused Israel of genocide. Lula's victory signals that Latin America's largest country will continue the current president's political course, despite the success of right-wing candidates in other regional nations. Lula's new presidential term is set to begin in January 2027.
