Lula defeats Bolsonaro to become Brazil's president

Brazil's electoral authority said Sunday that Luiz Incio Lula da Silva of the leftist Worker's Party has defeated incumbent Jair Bolsonaro to become the country's next president.

With 98.8% of the votes tallied, Da Silva, known universally as Lula, had 50.8%, and Bolsonaro had 49.2%. The election authority said Da Silva's victory was a mathematical certainty.

It needs to be noted that while Bolsonaro has lost, lawmakers close to him won a majority in Congress. This means that Lula will face stiff opposition to his policies in the legislative body when he takes office on 1 January, particularly any that may seem "socialist" and/or un-fundable.
