(BBC) Brazil’s veteran left-wing president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has been re-elected after a bitterly fought campaign, beating his right-wing rival Flávio Bolsonaro.
It is Lula’s fourth win in a presidential election, having served two terms as president from January 2003 to December 2010, and again from January 2023.
But the road to his win in Sunday’s run-off was not a smooth one.
