NICARAGUA: Opposition coalition faces more difficulties
Nicaragua’s leading private sector lobby, Consejo Superior de la Empresa Privada (Cosep), has announced its withdrawal as an institution from Alianza Cívica por la Justicia y la Democracia (ACJD), part of the opposition Coalición Nacional (CN) which is seeking to challenge President Daniel Ortega and the ruling Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional (FSLN) in elections next year. The announcement by Cosep’s new president, Michael Healy, who said the private sector would still support ACJD on a personal basis, comes as the CN is facing other challenges ahead of the elections.
