Brazil's leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has pulled off a dramatic comeback as he clinched a re-election victory, but his rival Flavio Bolsonaro refused to accept the loss and said he would seek to annul the vote.
With Lula's victory, Brazil staved off a conservative wave that has seen numerous countries, such as Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Peru, all shift right, backed by US President Donald Trump.
According to official results he won 51.8% of the votes, leading him to an unprecedented fourth term in office.
