The November 2020 Salvadoran presidential election is an upcoming election in El Salvador that will elect a new President of El Salvador. The election is occuring at the same time as legislative elections in the country. The election is nullifying the questionable results of the previous presidential election in April 2020 that elected Alexander Giammattei Falla as President.
In the election, only the Creeperian Initiative was allowed to run candidates as per the Ciudad Los'Ángeles Agreement. The Initiative selected Orlando Pareja Palau, Santiago Morales Cabrera, and César Castillo Reyes as its three candidates to run in the election.

Presidential elections occured in El Salvador in November 2019. In the election, former President Adán Tamayo Navarro was declared to have been the winner. He was sworn in on 1 January 2020. On 14 January, a series of protests errupted in Ciudad Los'Ángeles over Tamayo Navarro and his predecessor, Armando Calderón Sol, allowing the National Intelligence Directorate (DINA) to reenter the country following the declaration of martial law in August 2019.[1][2] Tamayo Navarro was assassinated only 16 days into his term on 16 January.[3] He was replaced by his Vice President, Alexander Giammattei Falla.[3] The change in leadership appeased most moderate protestors who only sought a change in government since Tamayo Navarro was a part of a political dynasty that had ruled El Salvador since 1980.[3] However, there were radical protestors who continued to oppose the new government of Giammattei Falla and continued to protest, even demanding full independence from Creeperopolis.[3] Giammattei Falla declared a state of emergency on 19 January.[4] In his declaration, he formally requested the Creeperian Armed Forces to enter El Salvador and put down the radical protestors.[4] The action was approved of by the moderate protestors who were satisfied with the regime change.[4] The Creeperian government gave the protestors until midnight on 21 January to cease protesting and the violence mostly ended by 31 January, but sporadic demonstrations continued following 31 January.[5][6][7]
On 9 April 2020, Giammattei Falla called for a snap election for 12 April to appease the protestors.[8] The protestors demanded a foreign nation should monitor the elections for fairness.[8] Six candidates were declared, four of whom were from the Creeperian Initiative and one of them was Giammattei Falla.[8] The election was postponed to 19 April since no international observer had been declared.[9] It was again postponed on 19 April for the same reason.[10] The Creeperian government official requested the government of Lyoa to be the international monitor for the election to which Lyoa agreed.[10][11] The election occured as planned on 26 April but the results were not released until 7 May when Giammattei Falla was declared the winner.[12] The results were seen as rigged and the protests continued.[citation needed]
Ciudad Los'Ángeles Agreement
On 7 October, the government of El Salvador and the radical protestors came to a final agreement after negotiations ended. The terms of the agreement, the Ciudad Los'Ángeles Agreement, were as follow:[13]
- A new constitution for El Salvador[13]
- The establishment of a legislature, the Legislative Assembly[13]
- The establishment of 2 opposition political parties, the Salvadoran Pro-Fatherland Front and the Salvadoran Popular Movement[13]
- The implementation of biannual legislative elections[13]
- The implementation of presidential elections every 3 years[13]
The factions also agreed that three political parties would exist: the Creeperian Initiative, the Salvadoran Pro-Fatherland Front, and the Salvadoran Popular Movement.[13] The three agreed that only the Creeperian Initiative could run candidates in the presidential elections and that only the Salvadoran Pro-Fatherland Front and the Salvadoran Popular Movement could run candidates in the legislative election.[13]
The government and protestors agreed to hold the elections on 1 November 2020 in the form as a general election. 1 November was to be set as the date for all future elections as it had been in the past.[13] The results of the previous election in April 2020 were agreed to be cancelled. Giammattei Falla agreed to continue serving as President until 1 January 2021 when the new President would take over.[13] He also agreed to not run for reelection.[13]
The new constitution would prohibit people from holding the office of President for two consecutive terms, just like the then current constitution did.[13] The constitution would also set the seat count of the Legislative Assembly at 112, each representing one legislative district in El Salvador.[13]
The Creeperian Initiative announced its candidates shortly after the signing of the agreements.[13] The Salvadoran Pro-Fatherland Front and the Salvadoran Popular Movement began campaigning in each of the 112 districts to earn seats for the first session of the new legislature.[13][14]

Pareja Palau is well-known for his publications such as La'Liberación del Gran Sacramento, a 2007 islamophobic and homophobic historical fiction novel about a Creeperian crusade into Greater Sacramento, and Historia de Catolicismo, a 1998 islamophobic report that promotes the conspiracy theory of the "Jewish Holocaust". Pareja Palau is partly responsible for the spread of the conspiracy theory across Creeperopolis and he is also partly responsible for the mass spread of Malgaphobia across Creeperopolis in late 2019.[citation needed] He is also notorious for refusing to accept the figures of Deltinians and homosexuals in the De-Catholization, a Creeperian Civil War-era genocide perpatrated by the National Council for Peace and Order from 1933 to 1949, in his 2013 report La'De-Catolización.
