Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva received 167 votes, compared with 118 for Flávio Bolsonaro, among Brazilians who voted in Angola in the second round of Brazil’s presidential election. The incumbent president therefore won 58.6% of the 285 valid votes, according to results reported by Mercado.

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won 58.6% of the votes cast by Brazilian citizens registered and voting in Angola, against 41.4% for Flávio Bolsonaro, the Liberal Party candidate, in the second round of Brazil’s presidential election. Lula received 167 votes, compared with 118 for his opponent, according to results published by Mercado.

A total of 285 valid votes were counted in Angola, giving the Workers’ Party candidate a lead of 49 votes. This result concerns only Brazilian voters who voted in the country and cannot be extrapolated to the entire Brazilian community residing in Angola.

Lula had already come first in Angola in the first round, on 4 October, with 147 votes against 101 for Flávio Bolsonaro. Nationally, he was re-elected with 51.79% of the valid votes, or about 64.3 million votes, against 48.21% and about 59.8 million for Flávio Bolsonaro, according to Mercado. This re-election was reported in Brazil’s presidential election.
