Lula travels to São Paulo to undergo routine exams

The procedures will be carried out overnight, under the coordination of Dr. Roberto Kalil Filho and Dr. Ana Helena Germoglio.

According to the information released, the exams were already pre-scheduled for after the election.

Lula is expected to return to Brasília on Wednesday morning (4), when he should resume his regular work schedule.

In a fierce election marked by an unprecedented turn of events, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) was re-elected on Sunday (25) president of the Republic and won his fourth term as head of Palácio do Planalto.

On the eve of turning 81, which happened last Tuesday (27), the PT member became, by defeating Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), the first president in the history of Brazil to be elected four times by popular vote.

Lula's victory was confirmed by the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) system at 9:08 pm, when 97% of the ballots had already been counted. At that time, Lula had 51.74% and Flávio had 48.26%.

Lula's fourth triumph comes more than two decades after coming to power for the first time, in 2002.
