In the first round of voting held last month, Lula got 48.4 percent, while Bolsonaro got 43.23 percent of the vote.
Jair Bolsonaro kept quiet
Jair Bolsonaro has become completely silent after these results. He hasn’t responded yet. Corona’s mismanagement is believed to be the biggest reason for their defeat. Despite Brazil having the highest number of deaths in the world from Corona, there was not much emphasis on the Kovid protocol in Brazil. He could not get a second term due to public anger with Bolsonaro. The new President Lula da Silva defeated him by a very small margin of votes.
