Brazil. With 50.9% of the vote, Lula returns to the presidency, defeating incumbent President Bolsonaro (40.9%). Bolsonaro gained support in deforested areas, while municipalities with large indigenous populations overwhelmingly voted for Lula, who won 13 states in the north and northeastern part of the country. Meanwhile, Jair Bolsonaro, with 49.1% of the vote, won the remaining 14 states in the center-south, making the election much better than the polls predicted.
