"I'm about to turn 80 but you can be sure that I've got as much energy as I did when I was 30. And I'm going to run for a fourth term in Brazil, announced Lula, who celebrates his birthday on Monday."
"He's not Joe Biden I've never seen him suffer a memory lapse, neither in public nor in private when it's just the two of us chatting He's someone who has astounding physical energy, not to mention the energy of his soul, Morais said, showing off as proof a photograph of Lula taking a swipe at a punch bag with his red boxing gloves."
Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva confirmed his candidacy for a historic fourth presidential term in next year’s election. Lula returned to the presidency in 2023 after defeating Jair Bolsonaro and remains the most influential figure on the Brazilian left. If re-elected, Lula would complete 16 years in office and be 85 at the end of a fourth term. Some voters expressed concern about his age after comparisons with other elderly leaders’ performance. Close allies and his biographer, Fernando Morais, vouch for his physical fitness, noting his gym routine, sobriety from smoking, and energetic demeanor.
