SAN SALVADOR: A ruling party lawmaker in El Salvador on Thursday sent a bill to modify the constitution to drastically overhaul how elections are run in the Central American nation.

The amendment would open the door to indefinite presidential re-election, extend terms from five years to six and scrap run-offs.

It would also shorten the current term of President Nayib Bukele, who recently won a constitutionally controversial re-election bid, to end in 2027 and bring forward the next elections - REUTERS
