‘Brazil is nobody’s backyard.’
President Lula da Silva’s defiant message after being declared the winner of a run-off vote on Sunday.
He lost round one to his right-wing rival. But he made history by coming out on top in the second poll.
Flavio Bolsonaro has disputed the result and says he wants it annulled.
This will be Lula’s fourth nonconsecutive term in office.
He’s promised a new approach to governing.
But many challenges lie ahead.
So, how will his government handle them?
