On October 30, 2022, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was elected President of Brazil for the third time, then sworn in on January 1, 2023, at the Palácio do Planalto in Brasília. It was an incredible and totally unexpected comeback for a man who survived cancer, lost all his loved ones, and endured a political trial that landed him in prison for 580 days, before being completely cleared by the courts.
