The nomination, without the drama
Nayib Bukele no longer needs to campaign for his own party's blessing — he already has it. On July 13, Nuevas Ideas confirmed that its 44-year-old leader will carry the ticket into the February 28, 2027 election, running again with Vice President Félix Ulloa, his partner since 2019. Neither man faced a rival in Sunday's internal vote. The party's own website simply posted a ranked list of "winners" alongside Bukele's photo, without disclosing a vote count or confirming any opposing candidate had even entered the race.
