The match New ideas (NI), of the president Nayib Bukeleachieved a majority in the Congress of El Salvadorwith 54 of 60 deputies, was made official on Monday night by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) of that Central American country.
The allied parties of New Ideas in the legislative Assembly, the National Concertation Party (PNC) and the Christian Democrats (PDC), obtained two and one seat, respectively; while the opposition Nationalist Republican Alliance (Arena, right) and the minority Vamos (center-right) obtained two and one parliamentarians.
The leftist Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN), which currently has four deputies, did not win any seats, so, for the first time in its history since the signing of the Peace Accords in 1992, it will not have representation in said organ, although it will not disappear as a political party.
Salvadorans decided to continue with governance to accelerate the transformations in the country!
