Lula da Silva took to Twitter to celebrate the victory. Taking to social media to show his joy at his return to the presidency, the future president shared a photo of the Brazilian flag alongside the caption “Democracy”.
Geraldo Alcmin, a former trade unionist, will be vice president of the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB), who was already his opponent in the 2006 presidential election, and then of the Brazilian Social Democratic Party (PSDB).
At age 77, Lula da Silva is the first three-term head of state in Brazil’s recent history, a six-time candidate for the presidency of the Republic of Brazil.
After the election results were announced, Lula da Silva, Brazil’s new president-elect, gave her first speech, thanking everyone who voted and worked on her campaign.
“We are not facing an enemy, we are not facing a candidate. We are facing the Brazilian state machine placed at the service of the candidate in a situation that prevents him from winning the election”He began by pointing Lula in front of the audience waiting for him in celebration.
“They tried to bury me alive and I am here. I have come here in a very difficult situation to rule this country. But I have faith in God and with the help of the people, we will find a way. This country should live democratically again.declared.
Brazil’s president-elect wants to dedicate his third term to fighting hunger, revitalizing the economy, protecting the environment and calming a population divided by strong political polarization, as promised in his campaign.
Jair Bolsonaro lost the second round of presidential elections against former president Lula da Silva, becoming the first Brazilian president not to win re-election.
In 1997, during Fernando Henrique Cardoso’s first term, a proposed constitutional amendment was approved that would allow the incumbent president to be reelected. Since then, except for Bolsonaro, all sitting and running presidents have been re-elected for another four years in office.
