The dictatorship of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo all the mayoralties of the 153 municipalities of Nicaragua were awarded, according to a first report from the Supreme Electoral Council (CSE). On Sunday, November 6, some questionable #Municipales2022 votes were held, which did not include opposition parties and There was little citizen participation.
With this result, the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) has 100% of the Nicaraguan communes under its power.
Some 3.7 million Nicaraguans were summoned to these votesin which only the Sandinista Front and other collaborationist political groups of the Ortega dictatorship participated: Constitutionalist Liberal Party (PLC), Alliance for the Republic (APRE), Independent Liberal Party (PLI Alliance) and Yapti Tasba Masraka Nanih Asla Takanka (Yatama ).
These are the first municipal votes since the sociopolitical landscape in Nicaragua changed after the brutal repression and massacre against the citizen protests of the April 2018 Rebellion. The Ortega regime has imposed a de facto police state, with more than 200 political prisoners and has canceled the legal status of three opposition parties.
In these municipal votes, the FSLN came in control of 141 mayoralties distributed in 15 departments and two autonomous regions on the Caribbean Coast. Of these, 135 mayorships were assigned by the CSE in 2017 and another six mayorships were usurped in October 2020 and July 2022.
