In a decisive and controversial move, four out of the five magistrates
of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) have today, on November 3rd, agreed to
register Nayib Bukele, the current President of El Salvador, as a candidate for
the Presidency of the Republic in the 2024 elections, despite the
constitutional prohibition on consecutive re-election.The news was made public
through the official TSE website on the X social network (formerly known as
Twitter), where it was reported that four magistrates voted in favor of the
registration of the presidential ticket for the Nuevas Ideas party, led by
Bukele and Félix Ulloa, "after verifying that they meet the legal
requirements."
According to sources, Dora Esmeralda MartÃnez, Guillermo Wellman, Rubén
Meléndez, and Noel Orellana voted in favor of the registration, while Julio
Olivo opted for abstention.
Bukele's registration as a candidate despite the constitutional
prohibition has generated widespread controversy, with numerous social
organizations, international organizations, academics, jurists, and political
parties, including Nuestro Tiempo, urging the TSE not to allow his candidacy
due to the alleged violation of at least six articles of the Constitution.
On the other hand, the TSE also approved the registration of the
candidacies of Manuel Flores and Werner MarroquÃn for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency for the Farabundo Martà National Liberation Front (FMLN) party,
becoming the first ticket to register after the election call.
The resolutions of the registration requests for other presidential tickets, such as Nuestro Tiempo, Fraternidad Patriota Salvadoreña (FPS), Fuerza Solidaria, and the Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA), which reportedly received a notice for pending documentation, are yet to be confirmed.
