The president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, announced this Thursday that he will seek re-election in the 2024 general elections.
“After discussing it with my wife Gabriela and with my family, I announce to the Salvadoran people that I have decided to run as a candidate for the presidency of the Republic,” said the president in a message broadcast on the national radio and television network by virtue of the 201 anniversary of the country’s independence.
In the 2024 elections, Salvadorans, in addition to electing a president, must vote for a new Legislative Assembly and the municipal councils of the 262 municipalities in the country.
Bukele acknowledged that “more than one developed country will not agree with this decision” to seek the presidency again for another five years.
But “it is not they who will decide, but (…) the Salvadoran people,” said the president who enjoys wide popularity, according to various surveys.
