SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) \u2014 Voters in El Salvador appeared to give Nayib Bukele a second term as president, putting him well on his way to a landslide victory in an election that for many hinged on the tradeoff of curtailed civil liberties for security in a country once terrorized by gangs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Supreme Electoral Tribunal said late Sunday that with ballots from 31% of polling places tallied, Bukele had 83% of the vote, far ahead of his nearest competitor\u2019s 7% for the leftist Farabundo Mart\u00ed National Liberation Front. The electoral site updating the count crashed shortly before midnight.<\/p>\n\n\n

After casting his vote, Bukele made clear that he expects the newly elected Legislative Assembly to continue extending the special powers he has enjoyed since March 2022 to combat the gangs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, standing on the balcony of the National Palace, he said that the country had made history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy are there so many eyes on a small (Latin) American country?\u201d he asked thousands of supporters. \u201cThey\u2019re afraid of the power of example.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSalvadorans have given the example to the entire world that any problem can be solved if there is the will to do it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The self-described \u201cworld\u2019s coolest dictator\u201d appeared to sweep to victory after enjoying soaring approval ratings and virtually no competition. That came despite concerns that Bukele\u2019s government has slowly chipped away at checks and balances in his first term and accusations that he dodged a constitutional ban on reelection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After voting, he jousted with reporters, asserting that the election\u2019s results would serve as a \u201creferendum\u201d on what his administration has done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are not substituting democracy, because El Salvador never had democracy,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is the first time in history that El Salvador has democracy. And I\u2019m not saying it, the people say it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
