El Salvador has a [[multi-party system]]. Two [[political parties]], the [[Nationalist Republican Alliance]] (ARENA) and the [[Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front]] (FMLN) have tended to dominate elections. ARENA candidates won four consecutive presidential elections until the election of [[Mauricio Funes]] of the FMLN in March 2009. The FMLN Party is leftist in ideology, and is split between the dominant [[Marxist-Leninist]] faction in the legislature, and the [[Social liberalism|social liberal]] wing led by Mauricio Funes until 2014. However, the two-party dominance was broken after [[Nayib Bukele]], a candidate from [[Grand Alliance for National Unity|GANA]] won the [[2019 Salvadoran presidential election]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Delcid |first1=Merlin |last2=Guy |first2=Jack |title=The strange political path of Nayib Bukele, El Salvador's new President |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2019/02/09/americas/el-salvador-president-bukele-profile-intl/index.html |website=CNN |date=10 February 2019 |access-date=27 March 2021 |archive-date=29 March 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210329041921/https://edition.cnn.com/2019/02/09/americas/el-salvador-president-bukele-profile-intl/index.html |url-status=live }}</ref> In February 2021, the results of [[2021 Salvadoran legislative election|legislative election]] caused a major change in the politics of El Salvador.
