The Lure Of Electoral Office

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, 42, has technically withdrawn from the presidency. Clearly, he has sounded the bugle for his candidacy to the high post that elections will decide probably by next June. The country’s Constitution does not allow more than a single term to a president. The Central American state of seven million people in the land of volcanoes and frequent earthquakes installed Bukele in office on June 1, 2019. El Salvador’s Supreme Court has given a verdict that a president out of office for a period of at least six months is eligible to run for a fresh term. This is how Bukele seeks to circumvent the spirit of the fundamental law of the land.
