El Salvador's legislative body approves constitutional reforms allowing for indefinite presidential re-election.

According to Golden Finance, El Salvador’s legislative body has approved comprehensive constitutional reforms that allow for unlimited presidential re-election, effectively enabling President Nayib Bukele to remain in power after the current term ends. The Salvadoran Legislative Assembly stated that Bukele’s Nuevas Ideas party and its allies passed five reform proposals by a vote of 57 to 3, which also extends the presidential term from five years to six years and eliminates runoff voting. Opponents warn that this move will concentrate power and threaten democratic systems, as these changes abolish long-standing term limits that have constrained executive power. Anna Figueroa, a member of the New Ideas Party, proposed to end Booker’s current term two years early to align the presidential and congressional elections on the same timetable. If approved, Booker’s current term would end on June 1, 2027, instead of June 1, 2029.
