ARENA, FMLN, PCN and the PDC are the most decimated parties after the preliminary election results.
The drastic reduction suffered by the traditional parties would mean that emblematic delegates no longer continue in the next term.
According to the data disclosed by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE), several would be omitted from the Legislative Assembly, including the current president of the legislative body, Mario Ponce, of the PCN.
IN ADDITION New ideas close to a qualified majority in the Legislative Assembly
Ponce is one of the oldest legislators in the General Assembly. He arrived as a deputy for the PCN in his first term in 1997 for the Department of La Paz and since then has been a private deputy for Cuscatlán to date, gaining 24 years of parliamentary experience during his eight consecutive terms.
The Pecenista party also failed to achieve representation in San Salvador, so deputy Eeileen Romero will not serve for the next term. Romero ends his first term on April 30.
In San Salvador, Rodolfo Parker, of the PDC, also won no place for San Salvador. Parker served five consecutive terms in the General Assembly, one of them as vice chairman of the board of directors.
The FMLN was also not represented in Santa Ana, so deputy Hortensia Margarita López was left out for the period 2021-2024.
The left party is the most decimated After the election results, but as preferences were unknown, it can only be deduced that of the 24 FMLN delegates competing in San Salvador, only one managed to secure a seat.

Thus, it is not known whether recognized delegates such as Nidia Díaz, Carlos Ruiz, Damián Alegría, Yanci Urbina and Anabel Belloso, who are contesting a seat in the People’s Assembly, managed to represent San Salvador.
In Santa Ana there is also no representation of the PCN, according to the latest data registered by the TSE. This makes it possible to identify that Deputy Francisco Merino would not join the General Assembly for a new term; as well as Colonel Antonio Almendáriz, who fought for Sonsonate.
On the ARENA side, this party is said to have lost deputies in San Miguel, so it follows that Deputy Edgar Escolán Batarsé would not be in the new term, nor Deputy Lucía del Carmen Ayala, as well as in Chalatenango, for which Deputy Julio Fabián.
