This Sunday, February 4, 2024, the presidential election takes place in El Salvador at the same time as the legislative and municipal elections. President Nayib Bukele is the clear favorite following the two years of “ war against the pandillas ”, the armed bands.
The Salvadoran Constitution prohibits a president from serving two successive terms. But in 2021 the judges of the new Constitutional Court authorized him to run again if power was assumed by someone else for his last six months of presidency.
