Nayib Armando Bukele Ortez is a Salvadoran politician and businessman who has served as the 43rd president of El Salvador since 1 June 2019. Bukele is the first Salvadoran president since 1989 who was not elected as a candidate of one of the country's two major political parties: the right-wing Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA) and the left-wing Farabundo Martà National Liberation Front (FMLN), of which Bukele was formerly a member. He is also the first Salvadoran president to be re-elected since 1944.
