Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, a popular right wing, anti-gang firebrand, has filed to run for re-election. El Salvador constitutionally bars its presidents from doing so.
El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele registered as his party's candidate to seek re-election in the country's presidential vote next year, a decision already raising eyebrows Friday because the constitution prohibits it. Bukele and his running mate, current vice president Félix Ulloa, were the last to register before the deadline at midnight Thursday. In typical Bukele fashion, the last-minute registration became a spectacle, coming amid rumors the president had been hospitalized.
total of 6.1 million Salvadorans are eligible to vote, including thousands living abroad, who will also be able to run for public office.
