- Lula defeated Flávio Bolsonaro in Brazil’s presidential runoff and was elected president for a fourth non-consecutive term.
- Flávio Bolsonaro said it was “impossible to concede” the election result after Lula’s historic victory.
Why it matters: Lula gains a fourth non-consecutive term after the second-round runoff, while Flávio Bolsonaro is the defeated far-right challenger who refuses to concede. The result therefore leaves Lula with the victory and a new term, and leaves Bolsonaro rejecting the outcome even as other coverage calls the win historic.
