The Supreme Electoral Council (CSE), at the service of the dictatorship of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo, assigned the boxes on the electoral ballot to the political parties that will side with the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) on November 6.
In the statement from the Electoral Power, the box of the Nicaraguan Christian Way Party (CCN) is omitted, which participated in the last presidential elections of 2021 with the Reverend Guillermo Osorno as a candidate for the Presidency of the Republic.
Those elections were classified as “fraudulent” by the international community. The same line was followed by the political parties whose legal personality was eliminated to prevent them from competing with Daniel Ortega, the eternal FSLN candidate.

A source linked to the CCN party told Article 66 that the political group attended the CSE meetings two weeks ago to call for municipal votes and does not know the reasons why the box does not appear in the Electoral Power statement.
The source assured that the CCN is working on the list of its candidates for the municipal votes and that if they are called by the CSE they will present the lists of their members. At the same time, he denounced that the Electoral Power has not made the reimbursement payment for the expenses of the 2021 presidential elections, a payment that they are still waiting for and has generated more debts for the interests that not having honored them in a timely manner represents.
According to the CSE, only the Constitutionalist Liberal Party (PLC), FSLN, Yatama, Alliance for the Republic (Apre), Independent Liberal Party (PLI) and the Nicaraguan Liberal Alliance (ALN) will participate in these votes. Leaving out the CCN that occupied box 3. Even the CSE website maintains the party as active and with the legal personality in force.
After last year’s votes, Osorno called on Ortega to annul the presidential elections that were unknown to the international community and urged to hold new credible elections in November 2022, so that Nicaraguans “elect a president on the same day that they will decide on their municipal authorities.” ».
The CCN alleged anomalies presumably carried out by the Sandinistas that resulted in an alleged alteration in the number of voters and votes in favor of the official FSLN.
With the results of November 2021, Ortega, who has governed since 2007 after having done so from 1979 to 1990, guaranteed five more years as president, again with his wife, Rosario Murillo, as vice president, the Nicaraguan dictatorial binomial.
