He defeated right-wing senator Flávio Bolsonaro in the second round, held on Sunday, securing a fourth non-consecutive presidential term.

In the first round of voting, held on October 4, Bolsonaro received 2.2 million more votes than Lula.

Both men have faced corruption allegations during their political careers. Lula spent more than a year in prison over corruption convictions that were later overturned.

Voting in Brazil is entirely electronic, allowing ballots to be counted more quickly than in other countries.

Bolsonaro refuses to accept defeat

Bolsonaro, meanwhile, stated that he would not recognize Silva’s victory and would seek to have the second round of the election annulled.

Bolsonaro described the decision by Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Cristiano Zanin to extend voting by two hours as “unacceptable,” Reuters reported.
