President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador, credited with driving down gang violence in the Central American nation, said he has been re-elected.
The 42-year-old took to social media and said he had won 85% of the vote.
Preliminary results later showed him winning 83% with 31% of votes counted.
His popularity has soared following a crackdown on crime that has transformed El Salvador from one of the most violent countries in the world to one of the safest in Latin America.
