Political culture

El Salvador has a multi-party system. Two political parties, the Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA) and the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN), had traditionally dominated politics.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> ARENA candidates won four consecutive presidential elections until the election of Mauricio Funes of the FMLN in March 2009.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In February 2021, El Salvador's legislative election was an important breakthrough. The new party, founded by President Nayib Bukele, Nuevas Ideas, won around two-thirds of votes with its allies (GANA-New Ideas). His party won supermajority 56 seats in the 84-seat parliament. Bukele became the country’s most powerful leader in three decades.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
