El Salvador’s legislature approves constitutional reform allowing indefinite presidential re-election

金色财经2025/08/01 09:42

According to Jinse Finance, El Salvador's legislative body has approved sweeping constitutional reforms that allow for indefinite presidential re-election, effectively enabling President Nayib Bukele to remain in power beyond his current term. The Legislative Assembly of El Salvador stated that Bukele's New Ideas party and its allies passed five reform proposals by a vote of 57 to 3. These reforms also extend the presidential term from five to six years and eliminate runoff elections. Opponents warn that this move will concentrate power and threaten democratic institutions, as these changes remove long-standing term limits that have checked executive authority. New Ideas party legislator Ana Figueroa proposed ending Bukele's current term two years early so that presidential and congressional elections would be held on the same schedule. If approved, Bukele's current term would end on June 1, 2027, instead of June 1, 2029.
