Left-wing leader Lula received 51.79% of the vote, becoming the first president since the return to civilian rule in 1985 to win an election after losing the first round. Lula obtained 51.79% of the votes against 48.21% for Bolsonaro, a difference of 4.4 million votes between the two candidates.
In the opinion of experts, Flávio Bolsonaro's appeals are unlikely to succeed.
But Lula is today at the head of a country more divided than ever, forced to cohabit with a parliament controlled by his adversary.
“I will never give up my Brazil and neither will those who are with me.
Thank you,” says Flávio Bolsonaro, defeated candidate in the Brazilian presidential election.
In the dead of night, Lula's supporters end up exulting.
But Lula's camp gained momentum ahead of Election Day, focusing on increasing voter turnout after 33 million people failed to vote in the first round.
Lula obtained 51.79% of the votes against 48.21% for Bolsonaro, a difference of 4.4 million votes between the two candidates.
He managed to win a fourth term by winning against the conservative Flávio Bolsonaro, son of the former far-right president, with nearly 52% of the vote.
He is the first candidate in Brazilian history to win after coming second in the first round with nearly 52% of the vote and more than 4 million votes in advance.
