SAN SALVADOR (Reuters) - El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele formally filed paperwork late on Thursday to run for re-election next year, despite concerns over his constitutional eligibility to seek a consecutive term.
Bukele, 42, enjoys strong public support and announced last year he would contest next February's presidential election.
