Rupavahini News reports that left-wing incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva defeated right-wing senator Flávio Bolsonaro in Brazil’s presidential runoff, securing a fourth term. It says the Superior Electoral Court declared Lula the winner at about 9 p.m. Brazil time on the 25th, with more than 51% of the vote and over 64 million votes. Newsfirst (සිංහල) reports Lula’s share as 51.75%.

Rupavahini News reports that Lula had been behind Bolsonaro in the first round on October 4: Bolsonaro received 47.03%, or about 56.1 million votes, while Lula received 45.16%, or about 53.88 million. It says no candidate crossed 50%, so a runoff was required, and describes Lula’s comeback as the first time since Brazil’s return to democracy in the 1980s that a second-place first-round candidate went on to win the runoff.

Daily Mirror, Newswire, WhatNews (සිංහල), and Ada Derana report that Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake congratulated Lula in a post on X. Newswire says Dissanayake presented the outcome as a defeat for corruption, division and political deception, and argued that voters could not be misled by political dynasties or forces of the past. Daily Mirror also reports that Dissanayake framed the result as a rejection of corruption, division and misinformation.

Newswire reports that Dissanayake praised Lula’s leadership and expressed support for Brazil’s continued progress. Sri Lanka Mirror reports that Lula told supporters in São Paulo that Brazil would not accept being treated as another country’s backyard, and that Bolsonaro called the result inexplicable.
