FWIW, below are the election results by region. I don't know the regional politics of Brazil that well but it seems odd that Bolsonaro would get blown out by nearly 40 points in the Northeast region while winning all the other regions in the country.

That ABC article’s a little light on details. Reuters just published an update:

“Brazil’s Bolsonaro avoids concession to Lula, but transition to begin

BRASILIA/SAO PAULO, Nov 1 (Reuters) - Brazil’s far-right President Jair Bolsonaro on Tuesday avoided conceding defeat in his first public remarks since losing Sunday’s election, saying protests since then were the fruit of “indignation and a sense of injustice” over the vote.

His chief of staff, Ciro Nogueira, speaking after Bolsonaro’s brief public address, said Bolsonaro had authorized him to begin the transition process with representatives of leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.”
