Lula thanks voters for his victory, Flavio Bolsonaro does not recognize the results
It is the first time in the country’s history since the return of democracy that a candidate who lost in the first round manages to come back and win in the runoff. The left-wing president obtained 51.7% of the votes, compared with the 48.2% received by right-wing Senator Flavio Bolsonaro.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets frame the story as live second-round results coverage centered on the extended voting and vote counting. France 24 is the only one to spell out that both campaigns submitted requests to the Superior Electoral Court, while Al Jazeera alone says legal challenges are likely. The Guardian US uniquely adds the first-round context and identifies the runoff as Lula versus Flávio Bolsonaro.
