El Salvador President Nayib Bukele says he’ll seek re-election despite prohibition
San Salvador, September 17 (RHC)-- El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele has announced that he will seek reelection despite the Salvadoran Constitution’s ban on consecutive presidential terms. The Salvadoran Constitution limits each term to five years.
Bukele’s announcement came one year after he and allies appointed new judges to the Salvadoran Supreme Court in an effort to allow Bukele’s illegal reelection efforts.
Bukele’s government has been accused of severe human rights violations, including the arbitrary detention and torture of people accused of being in gangs. His term is set to end in 2024.
