El Salvador president Nayib Bukele revealed he won his re-election bid in the Central American country by a landslide, according to a Feb. 5 statement on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).. Bukele said:. “According to our numbers, we have won the presidential election with more than 85% of the votes and a minimum of 58 of 60 deputies in the Assembly. The record in the entire democratic history of the world.”. CID Gallup data corroborated his claim, showing that he secured 87% of the cast votes.. His victory at the poll was expected mainly as he had enjoyed great popularity in the country and led in pre-election polling by a wide margin. Competitors like Manuel Flores, Joel Sanchez, and Luis Parada garnered only 7%, 4%, and 1.6% of the votes, respectively.. Posted In: Bitcoin, El Salvador, Featured, Politics
