BRASÍLIA — Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won Sunday's runoff with just over 51 percent of the vote. That gives the 80-year-old a fourth term, and he finished about 4.4 million votes ahead of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, according to CNN's count of the electoral court's figures. Bolsonaro, the son of the imprisoned former president, said he would not accept the result. He said his team would challenge it in court after the Supreme Court ruled at the last minute to extend voting by two hours, a step both campaigns had pressed for. CNN reports that no candidate since direct elections returned in 1989 has won the presidency after finishing second in the first round. Bolsonaro had led that round by about 2.2 million votes. The electoral court is expected to formalize the result, and the court challenge is the next test.
