El Salvador's Leader Bukele Claims Victory in Presidential Election With Over 85% of Votes
MEXICO CITY (Sputnik) - Over 6.2 million voters in El Salvador cast ballots in the presidential, mayoral and legislative polls on Sunday.
Incumbent Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele claimed to have won the presidential election in El Salvador with more than 85% of the votes on Sunday.
"According to our figure, we won the presidential election with over 85% of the vote and won at least 58 of the 60 seats in the [Legislative] Assembly. The record in the entire democratic history of the world. See you at 9 pm in front of the National Palace. God bless El Salvador," Bukele said on X.
Earlier on Sunday, the exit
poll conducted by the CID Gallup research company showed that Bukele was leading in the election with 87% of the votes, and his party, Nuevas Ideas, was taking 54 of the 60 seats in the country's parliament. The margin of error of these results should be no more than 3%.
The victory for Bukele, who bypassed constitutional restrictions to run for a
second six-year term, was expected: a November 1 CID Gallup poll showed his approval rating at 90%, the highest among a dozen Latin American leaders.
However, Bukele's administration was criticized for gerrymandering after it reduced the number of municipalities by almost six times to 44, denying advantages to smaller parties.
