Nicaragua's President Ortega Announces End to Future Elections
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega announced that the country will no longer hold elections, effectively ending electoral competition and opposition challenges. Speaking during the 47th anniversary of the 1979 Sandinista revolution, Ortega stated this move aims to prevent opposition parties from regaining power. Ortega, in power since 2007 and previously in the 1980s, has consolidated control alongside his wife, who was named co-president in recent constitutional reforms. The 2021 election was widely disputed amid opposition detentions and restrictions.
