Brazil Presidential Election: Latest News, Trending topics videos, photos | Zee News English

Rio de Janeiro: Brazil's presidential election has turned into a legal dispute after defeated far-right candidate Flávio Bolsonaro refused to concede defeat and vowed to seek annulment of the results. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who secured another term in a razor-sharp run-off, said “Brazil is no one’s backyard” and credited voters with protecting democracy.Flávio has alleged irregularities in the voting process, including a decision to extend polling hours by two hours, though he has not presented evidence to support his claims.“We will use our legal team; we will request the annulment of these elections,” he said, according to Brazilian online newspaper Brasil de Fato.He also accused the Supreme Federal Court of changing the rules during the election. “I will not accept that the rules of the game have been changed on top of the game, once again, by Lula’s friends in the Supreme Federal Court,” he said.He questioned a decision by Supreme Federal Court Minister Cristiano Zanin to extend voting hours until 7 pm local time. The extension followed fears that reduced public transport services in municipalities supportive of Flávio could prevent some voters from reaching polling stations.Both campaigns had sought additional voting time. Lula's campaign requested an extension after reports of restricted access to public transport in some cities, while Flávio's campaign sought extra time in areas affected by bad weather.Flávio also alleged that inspectors from his Liberal Party had been removed from a secure room during the election process.“Our PL inspectors were removed from inside the secure room as soon as the selection was made,” he claimed.Calling for further clarification, he said Brazil should not accept “wrongdoing” during the polls.“So there is a lot to be clarified before Brazil simply acknowledges this dirty trick that happened in these elections. I am not going to give up on my Brazil. I hope that you, who have been watching me, won't give up either,” he said.Brasil de Fato reported that Flávio had not provided evidence to substantiate his allegations.<h2>Lula says vote protected democracy</h2>In his victory speech, Lula said his campaign had defeated foreign intervention through digital platforms and pledged to give people a greater role in government decisions."We managed to convince people that voting was extremely important to safeguard democracy in Brazil. We defeated foreign intervention through digital platforms. Brazil is no one's backyard. We will change the way we run this country; we will make people participate more in the decision-making process," he said.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Presidente Lula fala após ser reeleito presidente do Brasil https://t.co/hbCHLkhz8x— Lula (@LulaOficial) <a href="https://x.com/LulaOficial/status/2114525308208697716?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 26, 2026</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>In another post on X, Lula shared a post by PT Brasil featuring the words, “Either leave the homeland free or die for Brazil!"<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> — Lula (@LulaOficial) <a href="https://x.com/LulaOficial/status/2114532660915605559?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 26, 2026</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>With 99.77% of the ballots counted, Lula had 51.76% of the valid votes, while Flávio had 48.24%, according to Datafolha projections.Lula, 80, first served as president from 2003 to 2010.

He was re-elected in 2006 and later succeeded by Dilma Rousseff, who won the 2010 and 2014 elections.The main election issues were the cost of living, crime and corruption. Flávio promoted a tough approach to crime and pledged to reduce food prices, while Lula faced questions over household expenses and public security.<h2>PM Modi, world leaders congratulate Lula</h2>Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the Brazilian president on his victory and expressed interest in strengthening ties between India and Brazil."Heartiest congratulations to my dear friend, President Lula, on his remarkable re-election victory," Modi said in a post on X.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Heartiest congratulations to my dear friend, President Lula, on his remarkable re-election victory.

As a steadfast champion of the working class and the poor, his return to leadership breathes new life into social inclusion, economic justice, and the fight against poverty in Brazil. It also has implications for geopolitics, not least for BRICS. Lula’s leadership supercharges Brazil's commitment to multipolarity, strengthening the BRICS bloc as a vital voice of the Global South in reshaping international trade and governance. it’s also a challenge for ties with Washington, which had openly backed his rival. While economic and diplomatic friction (such as recent trade and tariff tussles) is likely to persist, Lula’s fiercely independent foreign policy will continue to prioritise national sovereignty over subservience. Brazil has chosen a path of social progress, democratic resilience, and global cooperation. A historic and, for most, unexpected result amid the waves of rising right-wing assertion in Latin America. https://t.co/RfDL7aCmgi— Shashi Tharoor (@ShashiTharoor) <a href="https://x.com/ShashiTharoor/status/2114530742319632592?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 26, 2026</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said Lula's victory had implications for international relations, particularly BRICS and Brazil's ties with the United States. He argued that leadership of the left wing leader would strengthen Brazil's commitment to a multipolar world and reinforce BRICS as a voice for the Global South.Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum also congratulated the newly-elected president, saying, "Long live democracy, the people of Brazil won. Congratulations, President Lula!"Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz Pereira and Paraguayan President Santiago Peña also congratulated the Brazilian leader and pledged to continue cooperation on regional integration, trade and development. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that he wanted to build on Canada-Brazil ties through new trade opportunities, environmental cooperation and shared prosperity.

Brazil election: Why Flávio Bolsonaro refuses to concede, challenges Lula’s victory

Rio de Janeiro (Brazil): Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has won a fourth presidential term after defeating his right-wing rival Flávio Bolsonaro in run-off election on Sunday (October25). With 99.77% of the votes counted, the 80-year-old left-wing leader won 51.76% of the valid votes, while Flávio Bolsonaro received 48.24%, according to Brazilian media and polling firm Datafolha.The result extends his record as one of Brazil's longest-serving presidents. By the end of his new term, he will have spent 16 years in office, the longest period in power by a president in the country’s democratic history.Lula's victory followed a closely fought campaign dominated by the cost of living, crime and corruption allegations involving both candidates' families and political allies. CNN reported that Lula became the first candidate since Brazil restored direct presidential elections in 1989 to win the presidency after finishing second in the first round.<h2>Cost of living and crime dominate campaign</h2>Lula faced a difficult re-election battle as voters weighed the rising cost of living and crime and security issues. His rival, Bolsonaro, made a tough approach to crime a major part of his campaign and promised to reduce food prices.The campaign also featured corruption allegations involving people close to both candidates. Lula himself spent more than a year in prison after corruption convictions that were later annulled.Bolsonaro, the son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, sought to build support among voters who backed his father's political movement. The contest placed Lula's left-wing Workers' Party against a candidate representing Brazil's conservative political camp.The final hours before Sunday's vote witnessed intense campaigning by both candidates. The polling period was extended by two hours after the candidates made last-minute appeals to electoral authorities.<h2>Lula's return and Brazil's foreign policy</h2>Lula first served as president from 2003 to 2010. He won re-election in 2006 and left office in 2010, when his cabinet minister Dilma Rousseff succeeded him. The later won another term in 2014.Lula began his political career in the 1970s as a trade union leader before helping establish the Workers' Party. He contested the presidency thrice before winning the election in 2002.His fourth term is also expected to influence Brazil's foreign policy. CNN reported that the result would keep Latin America's largest country on a more independent foreign-policy course under him. He has emphasised national sovereignty and stronger relations with China and other countries in the Global South.His approach has also led to tensions with US President Donald Trump's administration over foreign relations and trade policy.
