Nayib Bukele's ascent to the presidency in El Salvador is a dramatic turn in the country's political history. Elected from within municipal politics, he drew on a national constituency on the basis of an open, pro-development policy. Going against the conventional political parties, he formed his own movement and employed social media as a medium to reach the electorate, foremost the young. His 2019 successful presidential bid and subsequent legislature consolidation served to remake El Salvador's political architecture and make him a transformational leader.

Nayib Bukele's presidency has created new questions surrounding the legality of the number of consecutive terms one can serve as leader in El Salvador.

Attention then shifts to the question of if the law could once more change and support future consequent terms past 2029 with this newfound legal stance.a

Nayib Bukele's likely re-election in 2024 is generating severe controversy in El Salvador. His re-election comes through a disputed ruling of the Supreme Court annulling as unconstitutional the Constitutional prohibition on successive presidential terms. Bukele's popularity due to his hardline stance towards crime and his efforts towards economic reforms cannot be dismissed. But his concentration of power and attack on human rights are raising questions about the prospects for democracy in El Salvador and stability of its institutions.
