"El Salvador's Political Turmoil: From Election Nullification Threats to Nayib Bukele's Controversial Reign"

The political opposition in El Salvador has warned that they may seek to nullify the results of the legislative elections due to irregularities, as the vote-by-vote count begins. President Nayib Bukele's Nuevas Ideas party claimed victory in 58 of the 60 congressional seats, but the vote count has come under scrutiny following irregularities and glitches in the system transmitting results. The opposition, led by the leftist Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN), is considering demanding a nullification of the results and a new round of voting. Bukele's control of Congress is crucial for his agenda, particularly in his war against gangs, and opposition parties are expressing concerns about the fairness of the electoral process.
