Lula thanks Brazil’s youth for historic election win

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won a fourth term, defeating right-wing Senator Flavio Bolsonaro with more than 51% of the vote, according to Al Jazeera English. Haaretz reported Lula won more than 64 million votes, over four million more than Bolsonaro. The Hindu reported the margin as about 4.4 million votes, after Lula trailed Bolsonaro in the first round. Lula thanked Brazil's youth for helping secure the win, and said in São Paulo that democracy would last and dictatorship would never return. Al Jazeera reported that Bolsonaro said he would not concede and would seek to annul the result. The Hindu reported that Bolsonaro's Liberal Party later recognised the official outcome while still voicing concerns. Bolsonaro objected to a two-hour nationwide extension of polling at Lula's request, calling it a "dirty trick," and said police ordered him to surrender his passports, which he said he would contest. Donald Trump called the election "terrible" and said it looked rigged. Several world leaders, including European nations, Russia, China, India and South Africa, congratulated Lula. Electoral court chief Kassio Nunes Marques said the polls were successful.

Where accounts differ. Al Jazeera reports Bolsonaro vowed not to concede and to seek annulment, while The Hindu reports his party later recognised the official result, and Haaretz reports only the Lula win and Trump's remarks without the annulment dispute.
