El Salvador's election authority on Monday announced that President Nayib Bukele's ruling New Ideas party would control a super majority in the next legislature with 54 out of 60 seats, following a hand count of votes.
Report informs via Reuters that opposition parties earlier on Monday had asked the body to void the results of the February 4 Congress elections and re-do the vote after the hand count of ballots revealed several irregularities.
Just hours after polls closed Bukele declared himself the winner of the presidential election, and his party victorious in the Congress ballot.
