"Bukele Secures Supermajority in El Salvador's Congress After Rigorous Vote Tally"

El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele and his New Ideas party have secured a supermajority in Congress, granting him significant control over the government. Bukele's overwhelming victory in the presidential election was followed by his party's success in legislative elections, despite allegations of electoral irregularities. The supermajority gives Bukele firmer control over all three branches of government, raising concerns about undemocratic moves and potential changes to the constitution. While critics highlight irregularities in the election process, Bukele's popularity and firm grip on power remain largely unchallenged.
