Lula's candidate defeated in Sao Paulo mayoral runoff

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's candidate Guilherme Boulos failed to win Sunday's runoff to become Mayor of São Paulo, where Ricardo Nunes was reelected in perhaps the most relevant decision of the day, in which allies of former President Jair Bolsonaro prevailed in almost half of the State capitals where a second round was needed. Nunes took over as mayor of the city of São Paulo after the death of Bruno Covas (PSDB), who died of cancer in 2021.
