Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won reelection as Brazil's president for a fourth term, narrowly defeating Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, in a runoff vote, according to CNN and the BBC.
The win halts a wave of US-backed right-wing victories across Latin America that had been aligning regional governments with President Donald Trump, CNN reported.
Latin American leaders celebrated Lula's reelection and called for deeper regional integration, according to Demócrata.
