Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has won a fourth term in office in a dramatic comeback over his right-wing challenger Flávio Bolsonaro.
Left-wing leader Lula took 51.79% of votes, becoming the first president since the return to civilian rule in 1985 to win an election after losing the first round of voting.
Lula told celebratory crowds this election is a "loss for negativity, lies", later adding "long live democracy".
Vice-President Geraldo Alckmin told him: "You, for the second time, have saved Brazilian democracy."
