Lula da Silva Wins Fourth Term as Brazil's President

Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has won Brazil's presidential election, defeating right-wing Senator Flavio Bolsonaro with 51 percent of the vote. This victory makes Lula the only politician in modern Brazilian history to win a second round after trailing in the first. He will be sworn in for a historic fourth non-consecutive term on January 5, 2024, at the age of 80. Lula's campaign focused on cost-of-living issues and included proposals for a reduced workweek and free public transport on weekends.
