In El Salvador, Nayib Bukele was elected president Sunday, handily defeating his opponents from the two main parties that have dominated the country’s political scene for over 25 years. Bukele, who has been dubbed a social media star, is of Palestinian heritage. The 37-year-old former mayor of San Salvador beat out candidates from the right-wing Nationalist Republican Alliance and the leftist Farabundo Martí Front for National Liberation, or FMLN. Bukele, who joined the conservative Grand Alliance for National Unity, or GANA, after being expelled from the FMLN in 2017, ran on an anti-corruption platform.
