Brazilians Re-elect Dilma Rousseff as President

By VOA

27 October, 2014

Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff has been re-elected to a second term. She won less than 52 percent of the votes.

Her Workers' Party has held the presidency since 2003. The party is credited with expanding social welfare programs and lifting millions of people out of poverty.

But the election was close because Brazil has experienced weak economic growth.
