Leftist Luis Inacio Lula da Silva defeated President Jair Bolsonaro on Sunday in an election runoff that marked a stunning comeback for Lula and the end of Brazil’s most right-wing government in decades.
Lula won 50.9 per cent of votes compared with 49.1 per cent for Bolsonaro, the Supreme Electoral Court said, declaring former president Lula the winner. The 77-year-old Lula’s inauguration is scheduled for Jan. 1.
The vote was a rebuke for the fiery far-right populism of Bolsonaro, who emerged from the back benches of Congress to forge a novel conservative coalition but lost support as Brazil ran up one of the worst death tolls of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As Mike Armstrong reports, the election was very tense and served as a referendum on two very different versions of Brazil’s future.

For now, the two parties are taking very different approaches in their advertising.
David Akin explains how the Tories are following the same strategy as the Liberals' 2015 ad campaign and whom the Liberals are trying to compare Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to.

,1,During remarks in Tehran on Monday, Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani blamed the U.S. for the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Iranian-backed, Gaza-situated Hamas militants.
"The American government must be held accountable for the crimes of the Zionist regime, and it is the American government that is now supporting the Zionist regime against the oppressed nation of Palestine,” Kanaani said.
The accusation came after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced a heavier military presence in the Middle East on Sunday, in wake of the Hamas attacks on Israel on Oct. 7. According to Blinken, the U.S. aircraft carriers being sent to the Mediterranean sea are intended to be a deterrence as opposed to a provocation of war.
Asked if Tehran would engage if the U.S. weighed in, Kanaani said that "Iran considers that the U.S. is already militarily involved in the conflict between Israel and Palestinians."

,1,Toronto's York University is facing calls to decertify a major student union over a public statement that called Hamas’ attacks in Israel “justified and necessary.”
The York Federation of Students, which represents 55,000 undergraduate students at York University, issued a “statement of solidarity with Palestine” on Thursday, in which the union argued the actions of Hamas represented a “strong act of resistance.”
The statement, which was also signed by the York University Graduate Students Association, was met with condemnation from Liberal MP Anthony Housefather, who called the comments “shocking.”
Global's Colin D'Mello reports.
