A WhatsApp channel grew from 53,000 to 10 million followers, aiding Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's unexpected election victory in Brazil. Lula became the first candidate to win after finishing second in the first round, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro. The campaign leveraged social media to mobilize voters, particularly those who had previously supported minor conservative candidates. Lula's victory is seen as a significant setback for the right-wing movement in Latin America and a challenge to U.S. influence in the region. The digital mobilization translated into real-world support, leading to increased voter turnout and a historic win for Lula.
