Lula da Silva was officially declared the winner of the Brazilian presidential elections, narrowly beating his rival Bolsonaro, by 50.83 percent to 49.17 percent, according to the semi-final official results.
Lula, 77, had served a prison sentence for corruption (2018-2019), before the judiciary ordered his release. Lula returns to power in the wake of a deeply polarized election campaign.
On Sunday evening, polling stations were closed in Brazil and held their breath, waiting to know the identity of the winner, so that Lula’s supporters began to celebrate in the streets as soon as the result was announced.
