El Salvador’s ruling New Ideas (NI) Party confirmed on Monday that President Nayib Bukele registered his candidacy for the upcoming 2024 presidential election despite the nation’s constitution explicitly forbidding a current president from seeking reelection.

“We communicate to the Salvadoran people that President Nayib Bukele and Vice President Félix Ulloa are already registered as pre-candidates for President and Vice President of the Republic of El Salvador, in the largest party in the history of El Salvador,” the New Ideas party announced through its official Twitter account on Monday.

Bukele has not yet publicly commented on the matter at press time but did repost the announcement on his official Twitter account.
