Brazil’s former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is seeking a return to office in October’s election, aiming for a fourth term—though not consecutively—after previously serving two full terms before his 2018 defeat. The race comes amid rising political tensions and economic challenges, with Lula positioning himself as a key figure in Brazil’s shifting political landscape. His campaign has drawn both strong support from progressive factions and criticism from opponents wary of his policies. The outcome could reshape the country’s direction for years to come.
