All polls point to an easy victory for the current president, the controversial Nayib Bukele


Analysts and citizens do not expect surprises in this Sunday's elections in El Salvador.

President Nayib Bukele leads all the polls and is above 70% of the electoral preference among the population.

His second term is surrounded by controversy, due to the mechanism he used to avoid the restriction that prohibits a second consecutive presidential term provided for in the constitution.

By separating from his position for six months, at least on paper, Bukele managed to get the Supreme Court to endorse his candidacy.

The president's security strategy has also become a point of contention during his administration.

Although it has been a source of popularity for Bukele among the population and has been replicated in neighboring countries, the state of emergency to combat gangs has also generated criticism for human rights violations.
