Dilma Rousseff who has been in power since 2010, has been 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.
