World leaders congratulate Lula after Brazil election win as rival Flavio Bolsonaro refuses to concede
World leaders have congratulated President Lula on his election victory in Brazil, while his rival Flávio Bolsonaro has refused to concede the result.
World leaders have congratulated President Lula after his victory in Brazil's presidential election, welcoming the outcome as the country prepares for a new term under his leadership.
The congratulations followed Lula's fourth-term win, a result that puts him back at the head of Latin America's largest country after a closely watched contest.
Not everyone has accepted the result. Rival Flávio Bolsonaro has refused to concede, leaving the outcome contested by the losing side even as international messages of congratulation continue to arrive.
Attention now turns to the transfer of power in Brazil and to whether the losing side will ultimately accept the certified result.
