<h1>President-elect vows US ties, foreign investment, rejects IMF; seeks loans, fuel-subsidy transfers, constitutional and judicial reforms</h1> The president-elect, a conservative outsider, pledged to restore ties with the U.S. and attract foreign investment while rejecting an IMF bailout; his transition team is negotiating fuel import arrangements and has secured legislative approval for a $3.5 billion loan with a further $600 million sought to stabilize finances. He intends targeted fuel-subsidy transfers, judicial reform and constitutional changes-measures that may trigger legal challenges and political opposition, particularly from the Indigenous-majority constituency empowered under the prior constitution. Immediate legal issues include treaty and trade negotiations, debt-authorizing legislation, executive authority to convene constitutional reform, and potential litigation over changes to judicial independence and indigenous political rights.
