Lula wins Brazil election as Bolsonaro seeks to annul vote

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won re-election in Brazil with 51.8 percent of the vote, defeating Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, who received 48.2 percent. Flávio Bolsonaro rejected the result and said he would seek to annul the election, criticizing a Supreme Court decision that extended voting hours. Turnout increased in the runoff, with abstention falling to 19 percent, while Lula supporters celebrated in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Lula also called for social media companies to be regulated after a campaign marked by allegations of algorithmic manipulation.
