Brazil/ After imprisonment for bribery, Lula da Silvia makes a stunning

Brazil has taken a turn to the left after former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva defeated far-right current president Jair Bolsonaro in the presidential election.

After a divisive campaign that saw two bitter rivals on opposite sides of the political spectrum go head-to-head, Lula won 50.9% of the vote. It was enough to defeat Jair Bolsonaro, whose supporters had been confident of victory.

It's a stunning comeback for a politician who was unable to run in the last presidential election in 2018 because he was in prison and barred from running for office. He was found guilty of accepting bribes from a Brazilian construction firm in exchange for contracts with Brazil's state oil company Petrobras. Lula spent 580 days in prison before his sentence was overturned and he returned to politics.

"They tried to bury me alive and here I am," he said, beginning his victory speech.

"Starting January 1, 2023, I will govern for the 215 million Brazilians, not just those who voted for me. There are no two Brazils. We are a country, a people, a great nation," Lula da Silva also said.
Polls suggested from the start that he would win the election, but when his lead in the first round was much narrower than expected, many Brazilians began to doubt their accuracy.

He will take over at a time when the country is still trying to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic. Approximately 9.6 million people fell below the poverty line between 2019 and 2021, and education and school attendance rates have declined. This will be his third term, having previously governed Brazil for two consecutive terms between 2003 and 2010.
