El Salvador’s Bukele Declares Victory in Presidential Poll
==========
President Nayib Bukele declares himself the winner of El Salvador's national elections, claiming to have captured more than 85% of the vote. Bukele's New Ideas party also reportedly won at least 58 positions in the legislative assembly. Electoral officials have not released any results yet. Bukele's victory would make him the first Salvadoran president in almost a century to be re-elected. He campaigned on his success in cracking down on gangs, which led to a decline in murder rates. Some analysts question the sustainability of mass incarceration. Bukele's biggest challenge will be the economy, which has been slow-growing and has seen a rise in poverty under his leadership.
