Ricardo Nunes re-elected as São Paulo mayor, shifting Brazil's largest city rightward.

Ricardo Nunes has been re-elected as mayor of São Paulo, defeating leftist candidate Guilherme Boulos. Nunes secured 59% of the vote, marking a rightward shift in Brazil's largest city and signaling challenges for President Lula as Brazil approaches its 2026 elections. This election reflects growing influence for right-wing parties and diminished support for Lula's Workers' Party, which now governs only 14% of Brazilian cities.
