Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won a runoff election for a fourth term as Brazil's president, defeating Sen. Flavio Bolsonaro after trailing him in the first round of voting. France 24 (English) reported that the younger Bolsonaro had bested Lula by more than 2.2 million votes in the first round, but neither candidate won an outright majority, setting up the Sunday runoff.
According to the Superior Electoral Court's count, Lula took 51.8% of valid votes to Bolsonaro's 48.2%, CNBC reported, with nearly all ballots counted on Sunday.
Breitbart described the result as Lula narrowly defeating Flavio Bolsonaro in a tightly contested race in which both sides alleged irregularities and the Supreme Court intervened to extend voting.
Bolsonaro has refused to concede and is seeking to have the result annulled.
