El Salvador's top court paves way for president's re-election
CNN
El Salvador's highest court has ruled that the country's president can serve two consecutive terms in office, paving the way for current president Nayib Bukele to run for re-election in 2024.
The decision was delivered late Friday night by judges appointed in May by the country's newly elected Congress -- which is dominated by Bukele's party -- after the lawmakers removed the magistrates of the Supreme Court's constitutional chamber and the attorney general. The top court's ruling has drawn condemnation by the US government, rights groups and opposition politicians, which have slammed the move as unconstitutional.More Related News
