NICARAGUA: Electoral campaigns kick off
Campaigns have officially begun ahead of the 7 November general elections in which President Daniel Ortega is seeking a fourth consecutive five-year term for the Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional (FSLN). With key contenders arrested [WR-21-36], genuine opposition parties excluded [WR-21-32], a supreme electoral court (CSE) widely criticised as partisan, and an absence of credible international observers, opposition groups like Coalición Nacional (CN) continue to dismiss the contest as a “farce” and urge the public and international community alike not to recognise the results.
