Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won a fourth nonconsecutive term after defeating Flávio Bolsonaro in Sunday’s presidential runoff, according to official results cited by Deutsche Welle and Antara. Lula received about 51.7% of valid votes, compared with roughly 48.2% for Bolsonaro, the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro.
Bolsonaro refused to concede and called for the results to be annulled, Deutsche Welle reported. In his victory speech, Lula urged tighter regulation of major technology platforms following allegations that Meta interfered in the campaign.
Leaders from several regions congratulated Lula. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said he hoped to expand trade, investment and cooperation between ASEAN and Latin America. South Korean President Lee Jae Myung called Lula a “special friend and comrade,” while Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto urged deeper strategic cooperation between Indonesia and Brazil.
Russian President Vladimir Putin praised Lula’s contribution to relations with Moscow. Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu and Seychelles President Patrick Herminie also welcomed the result and called for stronger bilateral cooperation. Democratic lawmakers in the United States and other international leaders issued congratulations as well.
Argentine President Javier Milei will not release an official congratulatory statement because of ideological differences with Lula, spokesman Adrián Ravier said. Ravier maintained that the decision would not harm trade or cooperation through Mercosur. Milei and El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele were the only Latin American leaders not to have publicly recognized Lula’s victory as of Tuesday, the Buenos Aires Times reported.
