Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has congratulated Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on his victory in Brazil’s presidential election, describing the result as a defeat for corruption, political division and misinformation.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, President Dissanayake said Lula’s historic victory demonstrated that people could not be misled by political dynasties or those who believed that might was greater than right.
“The people of Brazil did not just win an election; they defeated the forces of corruption, division and political lies,” President Dissanayake stated.
He also said Lula’s victory showed that people could not be fooled by political dynasties or figures associated with the past.
Extending his congratulations, Dissanayake wrote: “Many congratulations, companheiro, for leading the march of progress yet again!”
According to the information provided, Lula defeated right-wing Senator Flávio Bolsonaro in a presidential runoff on Sunday, securing a fourth non-consecutive term in office.
