El Salvador's electoral tribunal announced that the country will hold presidential elections on February 28, 2027. The schedule paves the way for incumbent President Nayib Bukele to seek a third consecutive term following constitutional changes that removed previous presidential term limits.
Bukele has garnered widespread regional admiration and praise for implementing a tough stance on crime that has sharply reduced gang violence in the country. However, his pursuit of an additional term has also drawn criticism.
