Outsider Romps to Victory in El Salvador Presidential Vote

A former mayor of El Salvador’s capital romped to victory in Sunday’s presidential election, winning more votes than his two closest rivals combined to end a quarter century of two-party dominance in the crime-plagued Central America nation. The Supreme Electoral Court declared Nayib Bukele the winner, saying he had nearly 54 percent of the votes, with nearly 90 percent of ballots counted. All four candidates promised to end corruption, stamp out gang violence and create more jobs, with crushing crime at the top of the agenda.
