Nicaragua Ends All Elections: How President Compares To World's Strongmen

President Daniel Ortega announced that Nicaragua is moving toward not holding a presidential election next year. This action appears intended to maintain his shared control over the country alongside his wife and co-president, Rosario Murillo. Both leaders have faced widespread accusations of human rights abuses. Ortega made these statements during a government rally commemorating the 47th anniversary of the Sandinista revolution takeover, signaling a significant shift in the nation's electoral process and political governance.
