San Salvador, February 4 (RHC)-- In El Salvador, Nayib Bukele was elected president on Sunday, defeating his opponents from the two main parties that have dominated the country’s political scene for over 25 years.  

Bukele, the 37-year-old former mayor of San Salvador beat out candidates from the right-wing Nationalist Republican Alliance and the leftist Farabundo Martí Front for National Liberation, the FMLN. 

Bukele, who joined the conservative Grand Alliance for National Unity, or GANA, after leaving the FMLN in 2017, ran on an anti-corruption platform and garnered 53 percent of the vote.
