Serbia’s Gen Z-led protest movement turned nearly two years of anti-corruption demonstrations into an election victory. The Student List won almost 53% of the vote, while the coalition led by Aleksandar Vucic’s Serbian Progressive Party took less than 39%. Preliminary projections give the Student List around 140 of parliament’s 250 seats.

The opposition Student List’s victory in Sunday’s election ended 14 years of political dominance by Aleksandar Vucic and his Serbian Progressive Party. Experts say the incoming government will focus first on domestic challenges, so any turn towards the West or improvement in ties with neighbours is likely to take time and unfold gradually.

After a landslide election victory, Serbia’s deliberately leaderless Student List movement is preparing to negotiate the formation of a government. It has pledged to fight corruption, restore the rule of law and “rebuild society”; Aleksandar Vučić conceded defeat.

The Student List’s election victory ends Aleksandar Vučić’s 14-year rule and fuels hopes of a reset with the EU. But Brussels remains cautious because of the group’s positions on sanctions against Russia and Kosovo.

Serbia held snap parliamentary elections on October 25. The Student List won 52.54% of the vote, defeating Aleksandar Vučić’s list, which received 39.29%, and Vučić conceded. Student List leader Ilija Srdanović said Serbia was moving toward a more civilized and better future.

Senator Flavio Bolsonaro has abandoned plans to seek annulment of Brazil’s presidential runoff results after lawyers and key allies urged him not to contest the vote’s legitimacy, Folha de S.Paulo reported. The newspaper cited a lack of concrete legal arguments and risks in court and politics. The electoral commission said Lula da Silva won 51.79%.

Two days before his 81st birthday, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva emerged as a comeback victor after a bitter campaign in which he often appeared to show his age. He became the first candidate since Brazil returned to democracy in the 1980s to win the presidential runoff after trailing in the first round, turning a 2.2 million-vote deficit against far-right Flavio Bolsonaro into a 4.4 million-vote lead.

The Brazilian real fell 12 percent against the dollar after Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva unexpectedly won re-election. Bovespa shares also plunged, triggering a 30-minute trading halt. Investors are concerned about higher spending and fiscal pressures, and will watch Lula’s choice of finance minister for clues about his approach.

After Lula finished second in Brazil’s first presidential-election round, student-led protests spread nationwide and a WhatsApp channel called “Lula’s Army” grew to more than 10 million followers. Analysts and Lula credited street activity and social media with reviving his campaign and helping him overturn the first-round result in the runoff.

With polls pointing to defeat, a WhatsApp channel supporting Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s re-election campaign grew to 10.8 million followers. Led by Congressman André Janones, it urged supporters to share videos, promote hashtags and recruit voters. Lula’s allies credit it with helping fuel his comeback, though political scientists say its direct effect on votes is impossible to establish and stress the role of grassroots mobilisation.
