Brazil's Lula, 79, to seek fourth term as president
Luiz Inácio da Silva, 79, announces plans to run for a fourth term as Brazil's president in the 2026 elections, despite earlier indications that his last campaign would be his final one. Lula, as he is popularly known, emphasized his vigor and intention to seek reelection during a state visit to Indonesia. This decision comes after facing health challenges during his previous term, following a closely contested election in Brazil's history.
