Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has secured victory once again in Brazil's presidential election. The veteran leftist leader, historically known for his strong pro-Palestine stance, is set to assume the presidency for a fourth term after securing over 51 percent of the vote.

The Qatar-based news outlet Al Jazeera confirmed the development in a report early Monday (October 26).

According to the report, Lula's closest rival, Flavio Bolsonaro—son of former President Jair Bolsonaro—received just over 48 percent of the votes.

Brazil's Supreme Electoral Court officially declared Lula the winner following the results.

Official figures from Brazil's election commission show that with 99 percent of ballots counted, Lula garnered 51.75 percent of the vote, compared to 48.25 percent for Flavio Bolsonaro, reflecting a tight electoral contest.

It is worth noting that Flavio Bolsonaro's father, Jair Bolsonaro, is a former president of Brazil, who was previously defeated by Lula da Silva in a prior presidential race.
