Morning Star.png Sandinist Ortega Wins 3rd Term with 71% The Morning Star, London, 8 November 2016 Nicaraguan Sandinista President Daniel Ortega has overwhelmingly won re-election to serve a third consecutive term, the Supreme Electoral Council announced yesterday. With about two-thirds of the ballots counted in Sunday's six-candidate presidential race, Mr Ortega had more than 71 per cent of the votes, running in tandem with his wife Rosario Murillo as his vice-presidential candidate.

Supreme Electoral Council head Roberto Rivas said that 65 per cent of the country's 3.8 million registered voters had participated in the election, despite right-wing opposition movement, the absurdly-named Broad Front for Democracy, calling for a boycott. The president and his Sandinista National Liberation Front have benefited from steady economic growth, social programmes and low levels of violence compared to neighbouring Honduras and El Salvador.
