பிரேசில் ஜனாதிபதியாக நான்காவது முறையாக லூலா டா சில்வா வெற்றி!

Newswire, Daily Mirror, Rupavahini News, Newsfirst (සිංහල), Ada Derana, Hiru News and other reports identify Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva as the winner of Brazil’s presidential runoff against right-wing senator Flávio Bolsonaro. The reports describe this as Lula’s fourth term, and Newswire specifies that it is non-consecutive.

Rupavahini News reports that Brazil’s Superior Electoral Court declared Lula the winner at about 9 p.m. local time on the 25th, with more than 51% of the vote and over 64 million votes. Newsfirst (සිංහල) reports a final share of 51.75%; the outlets do not provide matching final totals in the available reports.

Rupavahini News says Bolsonaro led the October 4 first round with 47.03%, about 56.1 million votes, while Lula received 45.16%, or about 53.88 million. It reports that no candidate passed 50%, requiring a runoff. Rupavahini News and Newsfirst (සිංහල) describe Lula’s comeback as the first time since Brazil’s return to democracy in the 1980s—or, according to Newsfirst, since 1988—that a first-round runner-up won the second round.

Daily Mirror says Lula faces a hostile Congress and a divided country. Sri Lanka Mirror reports that Lula addressed supporters in São Paulo and described Brazil’s position as one of independence; the same outlet says Bolsonaro called the result inexplicable. Lankadeepa separately reports that Bolsonaro went to the United States with his wife and daughter after money-laundering allegations were made against him.
