Leftist leader Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has been elected for a fourth term as President of Brazil, defeating right-wing senator Flavio Bolsonaro in a narrow runoff. The Superior Electoral Court confirmed the win early Monday, while Bolsonaro has stated he will seek to have the election annulled. The outcome surprised many, defying previous polling and challenging current political trends across Latin America. The voting process was extended by two hours following reports of public transport disruptions and inclement weather that hindered voters. Lula had alleged that local officials deliberately limited bus services to prevent people from reaching polling stations. These claims prompted legal action, including an arrest warrant issued for an official in the city of Salvador after hundreds of buses were found inactive instead of transporting citizens.
