Dilma Rousseff who has been in power since 2010, has been re-elected
president of Brazil again, after securing more than 51% of votes in the closest
election race in many years which took place yesterday in the country. An official count showed her
rival, Aecio Neves, taking just over 48% of the vote.
In her victory speech, Ms Rousseff
said she wants to be a better president than she has ever been.
Her welfare programmes
has been beneficial to a lot of poor Brazilians who came out in their numbers yesterday to vote her in
power again.
Though she faced protests last
year against corruption, record spending on the football World Cup and poor
services, but she scaled through.
