He was also elected as mayor of San Salvador on March 1, 2015 and took office on May 1, 2015. Both public offices have been elected under the banner of the party Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front.[2]

Early life

Nayib Bukele was born on July 24, 1981 in San Salvador. He is the son of Olga Ortez de Bukele and Armando Bukele Kattán, a renowned businessman and an influential figure in the country's political life. At a very young age, Nayib was recognized for his skills and spirit of entrepreneurship. At just 18, he already ran a company.[3] According to an article in the digital newspaper El Faro, Nayib Bukele is the owner of Yamaha Motors El Salvador[4], a company that sells and distributes Yamaha products in El Salvador[5]. As well as a mainstream media conglomerate and several other businesses.

Mayor of Nuevo Cuscatlan

On March 11, 2012, he was elected on behalf of a coalition of the FMLN with 2754 votes (49.72%) and CD 108 votes (1.95%), making a total of 2862 votes (50.68%) taking the mayoralty from the ARENA party, which won 2585 votes (46.67%). He took office on May 1, 2012.[6]

Mayor of San Salvador

In the municipal elections of 2015 he won the mayoralty of San Salvador, the Capital City of El Salvador, representing a coalition of the FMLN in coalition with the PSP, obtaining 89,164 votes (50.37% of total). His main challenger, businessman and former deputy Edwin Zamora, ARENA, won 82,288 votes (46.49%). The latter party had controlled the city during the previous six years. Nayib Bukele took office on May 1, 2015.[7].

Expulsion from FMLN

On October 10, 2017 Nayib Bukele was expelled from FMLN accused by the FMLN Ethics Tribunal of committing verbal aggression, promoting internal division and performing defamatory acts against the political party.[8] [9]. The FMLN alleged that Bukele called lawyer Xochitl Marchello a “bruja” (witch), but he denied it.[10] Nayib Bukele did not attend the hearing scheduled for October 7th, 2017 by the FMLN Ethics Tribunal, arguing that they were biased in favor of the plaintiffs[11]. After Bukele's expulsion, he replaced 11 employees with ties to the FMLN, for lack of trust.[12]

Presidential candidacy

After Bukele's expulsion from FMLN, his aspirations towards 2019 are in the direction of participating in the presidential elections as an independent who rejects the current political system.[13]
