El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele, currently serving his second term, has indicated openness to remaining in power for an additional decade. This follows a constitutional reform by the ruling party-controlled Congress that abolished term limits and extended presidential terms. While Bukele enjoys high approval ratings for his crime reduction policies, legal experts question the constitutionality of his re-election bids, citing prohibitions against consecutive re-election. Critics also raise concerns about civil rights abuses under his administration.
