Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s narrow victory in Brazil’s presidential run-off on Sunday has ended a run of seven consecutive conservative wins in Latin American presidential elections over the past 18 months.
The leftist incumbent beat Flávio Bolsonaro by 51.8% to 48.2%. Bolsonaro has said he will challenge the result and seek its annulment, after the Supreme Court extended voting by two hours.
