Lula takes office for third term as Brazil's president

Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva took office Sunday for a third term as president of Brazil.

He defeated far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro in October elections.

Lula, 77, who previously led Brazil from 2003 to 2010, took the oath of office before Congress, vowing to "maintain, defend and obey the constitution" as he returned to lead Latin America's biggest economy.
