Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was declared the winner of Sunday’s runoff and delivered a defiant message. Rival Flavio Bolsonaro disputes the result and wants it annulled. Lula has pledged a new approach to governing, but faces many challenges ahead.

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.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right coalition is narrowly trailing in polls before Israel’s election. He reportedly pressed the military to act against Iran and posted an AI-generated image of a nuclear cloud destroying Tel Aviv, warning voters they risked annihilation if they did not choose him. Netanyahu denied the reports, and the defence ministry said it had no intention of conducting operations against Iran.

Ahead of Israel’s Oct. 27 national election, President Donald Trump endorsed Benjamin Netanyahu’s bid for another term. The vote is widely seen as a referendum on whether Netanyahu should continue pursuing his war aims, including disarming Hamas and Hezbollah and countering Iran’s nuclear threat. Polls indicate neither his bloc nor the opposition led by Gadi Eisenkot has a clear route to the 61 seats needed to form a government.
