Lula was elected President of the Republic on October 30, 2022, after a closer-thanexpected second round, with 50.9% of the votes cast and just 2.1 million votes over the incumbent, Jair Bolsonaro. His vice-president is Geraldo Alckmin, from the centre-right. However, in the legislative elections held simultaneously, the parties supporting Lula (Workers’ Party [PT], Socialism and Liberty Party [PSOL], Brazilian Socialist Party [PSB], and in the second round, Democratic Labour Party [PDT] and Solidariedade) obtained only a minority of the votes and only 130 deputies out of 513 and 8 state governors out of 27.
