Bolsonaro's critics accused him of mishandling the Covid pandemic
Far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro is defeated by left-wing ex-President Luiz Inácio "Lula" da Silva in the deciding round of Brazil’s presidential vote.
Lula won 50 point 8 percent of all valid votes to nearly 49 point 2 percent for Bolsonaro.
Lula, president from 2003 to 2010, sought a political comeback after being embroiled in several corruption scandals.
Bolsonaro's critics accused him of mishandling the Covid pandemic and allowing rampant deforestation in the Amazon.
