Bolsonaro refuses to concede Brazilian election defeat to Lula

Jair Bolsonaro has not recognized his defeat in Brazil's presidential election, declining to concede to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of the Workers' Party. Around 159 million Brazilians were eligible to vote in the runoff, and Lula's victory is being attributed partly to the social and economic record of the PT. The refusal to acknowledge the result has raised concerns about Brazil's democratic stability.

Why now: A sitting president refusing to accept an election result is a major democratic crisis drawing global attention.
