SO PAULO - Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the Brazilian president, has won a fourth term in power after defeating his far-right opponent, Flávio Bolsonaro, according to The Guardian. The newspaper reported the result with nearly 99% of votes counted and described Lula as the leftist incumbent. Its summary said Lula had staged an election fightback to defeat the far-right candidate.

The Guardian described the victory as an unprecedented comeback, weeks after Lula narrowly lost the first round of the election to Bolsonaro. The report was written by Tom Phillips in São Paulo and Tiago Rogero in Brasília, according to the paper's byline.

The BBC reported that Lula pulled off a surprise win but will face a "hostile Congress" and a polarised country. The BBC summary described the country as polarised and reviewed for this report carried no byline.

The two outlets agree on the outcome but differ in emphasis. The Guardian stressed a comeback after a first-round setback, while the BBC stressed a surprise win and the political challenges that follow, namely a hostile Congress and a divided country.

Neither The Guardian nor the BBC, in the summaries reviewed for this report, gave a final vote margin. Neither summary included statements from Lula or from Bolsonaro, and the reports reviewed do not say what the final count will be. The Guardian's byline names two reporters, and no other outlet is named in the material reviewed.
