Incumbent Bukele declares victory in El Salvador presidential election. Six candidates ran for president in the Central American country of El Salvador, and voting was held on the 4th.
The re-election could have an impact on other countries in Latin America where violence is seriously endemic. A powerful government that limited the constitution... could influence policies in those countries as well, says the U.S. Embassy in Washington, D.C., which has been monitoring the election closely since the results were announced.
