Brazil Election 2026: Lula Wins Fourth Term, Defeats Flávio Bolsonaro
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has won a historic fourth, non-consecutive presidential term, defeating right-wing challenger Flávio Bolsonaro in the October 25, 2026, runoff. Lula secured 51.79% of valid votes, while Bolsonaro received 48.21%, according to Brazil’s electoral authority. The result marks a major political comeback after Lula trailed in the first round. His victory could influence Brazil’s relations with the United States and shape cooperation within BRICS and the Global South. For India, Brazil remains an important partner in trade, critical minerals and calls for reform of global institutions. However, the election result alone does not guarantee changes in bilateral trade or BRICS policy.
