However, MP 56 representing the qualified majority in the Legislative Assembly has sparked a political lawsuit between two allied political parties, New Ideas and WIN.
President Nayib Bukele went to the country this Sunday, just over a week after the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) officially announced the results of the 2021 legislative and municipal elections.
On the national channel, Bukele advanced that the new Assembly, with a majority of officialdom, “will not negotiate with ARENA and the FMLN.” The president stated that “the mandate of the people” is not to negotiate with these parties.
With this, Bukele makes it clear that the New Ideas – WIN alliance will be in place, to the point that it has already closed the door for officialdom to negotiate with the political opposition in the next legislature. In contrast, the president said they will be open to negotiating with other sectors.
The TSE confirmed, after concluding the final scrutiny, that the bureaucracy party got the most votes in the last elections.
However, MP 56 representing the qualified majority in the Legislative Assembly has sparked a political lawsuit between two allied political parties, New Ideas and the Grand Alliance for National Unity (GANA).

That, after TSE presiding magistrate Dora Esmeralda Barahona, a representative of the WIN party, wrote on Friday night on her Twitter account that the New Ideas party had 55 deputies and a day later it had 56.
The truth is that the TSE recognizes that NI has 46 pure deputies, 10 in coalition, of which 9 were proposed by NI and one by the WIN party, which corresponds to the Cabanyes department.
WIN attributes it to him for having been proposed by them. However, the reality is that both parties are allies and together they form 61 votes for the qualified majority.
