Lula da Silva beats Jair Bolsonaro to win Brazil election

Quote:

Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has won the Brazilian election, beating Jair Bolsonaro by a razor-thin margin.

It has been Brazil's most polarised election in recent memory, pitting far-right incumbent President Bolsonaro against leftist former leader Lula da Silva.

On his victory, Mr da Silva tweeted a simple picture of his hand over the Brazilian flag and the word: "Democracy."

Close election but the fear now will be if Bolsonaro concedes. There were reports of the police blocking access to voting stations: https://www.reuters.com/world/americ...rs-2022-10-30/

Not sure he'll go quietly....

50.9% to win. The opposition right won't be happy.

I always enjoy a close election and the period of quiet that follows.
