As per news report of NDTV, The Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) declared Lula the next president, with 50.9 per cent of votes against 49.1 per cent for Bolsonaro. The 77-year-old Lula's inauguration is scheduled for Jan. 1. It was a stunning comeback for the leftist former president and a punishing blow to Bolsonaro, the first Brazilian incumbent to lose a presidential election."So far, Bolsonaro has not called me to recognize my victory, and I don't know if he will call or if he will recognize my victory," Lula told tens of thousands of jubilant supporters celebrating his win on Sao Paulo's Paulista Ave.
