Exit poll numbers for the El Salvador presidential election have shocked the world. The exit poll figures after the election show that 87% of the votes are leaning towards the current president Nayib Bukele's party, Nueva (New) Ideas party. While official numbers are yet to come, the exit polls clearly indicate that Bitcoin supporter Nayib Bukele will once again become the President of El Salvador. If these figures turn out to be true, Bukele will remain the president of El Salvador until 2029.
According to CoinGabbar, the results of the El Salvador President Election exit polls suggest that the country's people have a positive outlook towards Bukele's cryptocurrency initiatives. It's worth mentioning that Nayib Bukele not only supports cryptocurrencies but has also made Bitcoin legal tender during his term. El Salvador has recognized Bitcoin as legal currency alongside the US dollar since September 2021.
El Salvador's exit polls reveal gains for Nayib Bukele, credited to his Bitcoin-related initiatives, including making $BTC legal tender and constructing Bitcoin City. Exit poll results on X show Bukele's party securing 87% votes, while opponents Manuel Flores and Joel Sanchez received 7% and 4% votes, respectively. This indicates public approval for Bukele's cryptocurrency actions.
National Bitcoin Office spokesperson, commenting on official figures, suggests Bukele's party is likely to perform well. Vice President Félix Ulloa states that if these results stand officially, Bukele's Bitcoin policies won't see alterations after his potential reelection.
Coingabbar suggests El Salvador's exit polls reflect the impact of Bukele's crypto-friendly policies. In recent years, El Salvador has been ahead of major nations in adopting cryptocurrency-friendly policies, while larger countries struggle with regulations, trading, and operations. Despite global skepticism toward cryptocurrencies, El Salvador, under #NayibBukele's leadership has declared Bitcoin legal tender.
El Salvador's approach to Bitcoin, as showcased in the exit polls, not only boosts confidence in $BTC investments among the public but also contributes to growing the Bitcoin economy in the country.
The landslide victory for Nayib Bukele in El Salvador, fueled by his strong support for Bitcoin, raises questions about the global political landscape. If presidential candidates in other nations endorse cryptocurrencies, it could sway votes in their favour. Crypto enthusiasts, a growing demographic, may support candidates advocating for blockchain and digital assets. The El Salvador election outcome suggests that aligning with the crypto community can be a strategic move for politicians worldwide. As the crypto space gains prominence, political support for digital currencies might become a decisive factor in elections across different countries.
