Daniel Ortega unintentionally inaugurated an era of electoral democracy in Nicaragua when he lost power in 1990. Now, two years into his presidential term, Ortega's Sandinistas stand accused of rigging the country' local elections in order to ensure the adoption of a constitutional amendment that will allow him to run again.

MANAGUA – Like thousands of Nicaraguans, I voted for Managua’s mayor in local elections last November. After the voting, the authorities of my jurisdiction posted a copy of the certificate of results on the door of the Electoral Board, which registered 155 votes for the opposition candidate, 76 votes for the candidate of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) and two votes for other candidates.
