Yes. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won Brazil’s presidential runoff on October 25, 2026, securing election to a fourth term. The electoral authority’s report confirms his reelection.
Agência Senado lists his presidential election victories in 2002, 2006, 2022 and 2026. Congresso em Foco independently reports the fourth-term victory, drawing on electoral authority results. These are separate publications reporting the same underlying election count.
“Elected for the fourth time” counts election victories, not completed terms or consecutive victories. Election-night reports reflect different counting stages, so this check does not present their provisional percentages as a single final tally.
The 2026 result marks Lula’s fourth presidential election victory, not the completion of four terms.

China is governed by the Communist Party. Its official system is socialism with Chinese characteristics, with a market economy that includes private businesses.

Brazil's constitutional system protects political pluralism, private property and free enterprise. Public services and social programs do not make it communist.
