Salvadoran President Advocating for Bitcoin Announces Run for 2024 Elections
In a significant development for the Central American nation, Nayib Bukele, the current President of El Salvador, has filed his paperwork for re-election in the upcoming presidential election scheduled for February 2024. The nomination was made by the ruling party, Neuva Ideas, which brought Bukele to power in 2019.
The public has strongly welcomed Bukele's nomination, with many praising his efforts that have put El Salvador in the global spotlight. Notably, El Salvador made history by becoming the world's first country to make Bitcoin a legal tender in September 2021. Since then, Bukele has been gradually buying Bitcoin, a move that has been met with mixed reactions.
In a speech, Bukele stated, "Five more, five more and not one step back," indicating his intention to continue his work for another five years if re-elected. However, the Constitution prohibits immediate presidential re-election up to seven times, and there is no clear information about the constitutional regulation allowing Bukele to run again for the presidency in the next seven election periods.
Neuva Ideas, the most popular political party in El Salvador, officially nominated Bukele as their presidential candidate on October 26. Bukele's term as President is nearing its closing after five years, during which he has made significant strides in improving the country. An article titled "El Salvador Buys 21 Bitcoin to Mark Bitcoin Day" is a testament to his innovative approach to governance.
As the election approaches, the focus will be on Bukele's plans for the next five years and whether he will be able to secure another term in office. The public's support for Bukele remains strong, but the Constitution and the opposition parties may present challenges in his path to re-election.
