Lula wins fourth term as Brazil president after historic upset over far-right Flavio Bolsonaro

• Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has claimed a historic fourth term as Brazil's president, defeating far-right rival Flavio Bolsonaro by 51.79% to 48.21% - a margin of 4.4m votes with 100% counted. • Lula, who turns 81 on Tuesday, called the unprecedented comeback 'a defeat for denialism'; never since the return of democracy in the 1980s has the first-round runner-up won the second vote. • Bolsonaro refused to concede and said his legal team would seek to have the election annulled, citing a supreme court justice's decision to extend voting hours.
