After Bolsonaro Lula won the first round of voting on Sunday, the former president was able to defeat his rival in the crucial moments.
The former left -wing president, who ruled Brazil between 2003 and 2010, was elected by a slight victory over his extreme right -wing rival, by 50. 83 percent, compared to 49. 17 percent, according to the semi -final official results.
The 77-year-old legend Lula had sentenced the man to prison for a period of time (2018–2019) on corruption-related charges before he gave the judiciary the order to free him.
After a bitterly divisive election campaign that saw a strong draw, Lula came back to power.
The vote was a rejection of Julusonaro’s right-wing popularity. Julusonaro had formed a new conservative alliance after leaving the back benches of the Congress, but he had lost support after Brazil saw one of the highest death tolls from the Korona pandemic.
When Brazil was in power, Lula promised to reinstate the social policies and state-led economic growth that freed millions from the grip of poverty.
He also pledged to make Brazil a leader in international climate negotiations and to stop the degradation of the Amazon rain forests, which has now reached its highest level in 15 years.
Bolsonaro would have retained his position as president of Brazil if it weren’t for the table being turned.
