Brazilian President-Elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva promised to unite a divided country on Sunday after defeating incumbent Jair Bolsonaro in a runoff presidential vote. Lula won 50.9 per cent of the vote compared with 49.1 per cent for Bolsonaro, the Supreme Electoral Court said, declaring former president Lula the winner. Lula has vowed a return to state-driven economic growth and social policies that helped lift millions out of poverty when he was previously president from 2003 to 2010. He also promised to combat the destruction of the Amazon rainforest and make Brazil a leader in global climate talks. “I consider myself to be a citizen that has had a process of reconstruction in Brazilian politics. Because they tried to bury me alive. And I am here; I am here to govern the country from a very difficult situation he said,” he said, addressing his supporters following his victory. A former union leader born into poverty, Lula organized strikes against Brazil’s military government in the 1970’s. His two-term presidency was marked by a commodity-driven economic boom and he left office with record popularity. However, his Workers Party was later tarred by a deep recession and a record-breaking corruption scandal that jailed him for 19 months on bribery convictism, which were overturned by the Supreme Court last year.

'Personal attacks over policy' seemed to be the theme as Brazil's top two contenders for president faced off during their first televised debate. The run-off was triggered when neither candidate received the required majority during the first round of elections at the start of the month, and the front runners didn't hold back as they went head-to-head. Tahlea Aualiitia reports.

With 99.97% of the votes tallied, da Silva secured 50.9% of the vote and Bolsonaro 49.10% in one of the most significant and bruising elections in the country’s history. It is a stunning return to power for the 77-year-old former president, who led Brazil from 2003-2010. Da Silva is promising to govern beyond his party. He wants to bring in centrists and even some leaning to the right who voted for him for the first time, and to restore the country’s more prosperous past. Lula takes power on 1 January 2023 and will be charged with rebuilding and reuniting a nation that has been left damaged and bitterly divided.

Supporters of President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva took to the streets on Sunday to celebrate their candidate’s victory over President Jair Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro, who for years has made baseless claims that Brazil's voting system is prone to fraud, remained silent initially about the result.

Police clashed with demonstrators, firing teargas to break up hundreds of protests, including one blockade limiting access to São Paulo's international airport. Bolsonaro lost a tightly fought ballot to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva but has yet to concede defeat.

With 99.97% of votes counted, Silva, a former factory worker who became Brazil’s first working-class president exactly 20 years ago, had secured 50.9% of the vote. Bolsonaro, a firebrand who was elected in 2018, received 49.10%. Addressing journalists at a hotel in São Paulo, Lula vowed to reunify the country after a toxic race for power that has profoundly divided one of the world’s largest democracies.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro called on protesters on Wednesday to put an end to blockades they had set up on roads across the nation in the days since the presidential runoff election. "I'm just as upset, as sad as you. But we have to keep our head in place," he said, calling demonstrations welcome as part of democracy but the blockades on the nation's highways are making ongoing demonstrations illegitimate. He called on his supporters to choose other ways to demonstrate. Authorities said they were making headway in their efforts to clear blockades, but there are still concerns the demonstrations were disrupting fuel distribution, industrial activity and food deliveries. Bolsonaro has not conceded his loss to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, though he said he would follow the constitution, indicating a transition was likely to take place.
