El Salvador President Nayib Bukele is set to run for a third consecutive presidential term after his party nominates him for the 2027 election. Multiple outlets report that Bukele wins his party’s primary process without facing opposition. The Financial Times describes the contest as Bukele being selected for the third term after winning a party primary unopposed, while Investing.com similarly reports that Bukele’s party nominates him to seek a third term. The Tico Times adds that Bukele receives the official nomination from the Nuevas Ideas party following internal elections involving party affiliates across the country. It says Bukele registered as the sole pre-candidate weeks earlier, leading to his selection as the presidential candidate through the party’s procedures. The Tico Times also reports that the party nominates Vice President Félix Ulloa alongside Bukele. With the nomination secured, the next step is the general election in 2027, where Bukele will seek another term in office.
