Nayib Bukele, President of El Salvadore Shot Glass

Nayib Armando Bukele Ortez, President of the Republic of El Salvador. Nayib Armando Bukele Ortez was born on July 24, 1981. Bukele is a Salvadoran politician and businessman who is the 43rd president of El Salvador, serving since June 1, 2019. Bukele is the first president since José Napoleón Duarte (1984–1989) not to have been elected as the candidate of one of the country's two major political parties: the left-wing Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) and the right-wing Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA). Bukele served as mayor of Nuevo Cuscatlán for three years from 2012 to 2015, and then served three years as mayor of San Salvador, the nation's capital, from 2015 to 2018. After winning both mayoral elections as a member of the FMLN, in 2017 Bukele was expelled from the party. In 2018 he established his own political party: Nuevas Ideas (NI). He sought to run for president in the 2019 election with the centre-left Democratic Change (CD); however, the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) dissolved the CD, forcing Bukele to instead run with the centre-right Grand Alliance for National Unity (GANA). He won the election with 53 percent of the vote.
