We’ll be wrapping up our live coverage of Brazil’s runoff election. I’m Helen Sullivan and thanks for following along.

Before I go, here are two more congratulations from world leaders:

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro offered a “big hug” to Lula, saying in a tweet: “Long live the peoples determined to be free, sovereign and independent! Today in Brazil democracy triumphed.”

Gustavo Petro, who became Colombia’s first leftist president after his election this summer, tweeted simply “Long live Lula.”

Viva Lula.

— Gustavo Petro (@petrogustavo) October 30, 2022

He later shared a map showing that the majority of Latin American countries are now led by leftist governments:
