<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nayib Bukele, El Salvador’s bitcoin-friendly president, is on his way to another five-year term, according to </span><a href="https://twitter.com/OnDemand_News/status/1754302756536402023"><span style="font-weight: 400;">exit polls</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that show he has an overwhelming lead after voting ended on Sunday.</span></p> 
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“According to our numbers, we have won the presidential election with more than 85% of the votes and a minimum of 58 of 60 deputies in the Assembly,” said Bukele in a Feb. 5 X </span><a href="https://twitter.com/nayibbukele/status/1754307883586494722"><span style="font-weight: 400;">post</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bukele made an impact during his first term by cracking down on gang violence with mass incarcerations. He has also been a big advocate for Bitcoin (BTC).&nbsp;</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">El Salvador passed a new law on Dec. 21 that provides foreign investors who make a<a href="https://insidebitcoins.com/news/el-salvadors-legislative-move-granting-citizenship-for-bitcoin-contributions"> Bitcoin donation</a> a pathway to rapid citizenship.&nbsp;</span></p> 
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The law will effectively allow qualifying individuals to bypass the conventional naturalization requirement of a five-year continuous residency for non-Hispanic country nationals, or a two-year residency for those married to a Salvadoran citizen.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2021, El Salvador also became the first nation to adopt BTC as legal tender. Although this move was applauded by Bitcoin enthusiasts, it also drew criticism from international organizations such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF).</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He also urged those who published “hit pieces” criticizing&nbsp; the country’s BTC investments to retract their statements and offer apologies.&nbsp;</span></p>
