NICARAGUA: CSE issues another questionable ruling
The recent decision by Nicaragua’s supreme electoral court (CSE) to strip national legislator, Agustín Jarquín Anay, of his seat in the 92-member unicameral legislature for having swapped parties, defecting from President Daniel Ortega’s Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional (FSLN), has triggered fresh institutional concerns in Nicaragua as Jarquín is refusing to abide by the ruling. It follows another CSE resolution issued in June sacking another FSLN deputy, Xochilt Ocampo, after she failed to toe the party line.
