This is from the BBC:
President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador, credited with driving down gang violence in the Central American nation, has been re-elected, Preliminary results released after 70% of votes had been counted showed him securing a second term by winning 83% of the votes.
He had already claimed victory before the results were announced. His popularity has soared following a crackdown on crime which drove down the country’s murder rate.
Under his presidency, El Salvador has been transformed from one of the most violent countries in the world to one of the safest in Latin America.
It’s a big victory, and President Bukele must focus on economic development to raise the country’s living standards. He can do so by looking for foreign investment, an easier task now that crime has been reduced so much.
