Leftist Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has won the election to become Brazil’s next President. He inherits a deeply divided country, with a hugely difficult global economic situation. Brazil is the largest country in both South America and Latin America. The president is both the head of state and head of government of the Union and is elected for a four-year term, with the possibility of re-election for a second successive term.
