Elections were held across Nicaragua for Mayoral posts, most importantly in Managua, with the opposition "Liberals" Partido Liberal Constitucionalista (PLC; liberal democratic party) and the "Sandinistas" Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional (FSLN; supposedly the Marxist party) contesting. Two other opposition parties were banned from placing candidates on the ballot by the FSLN-controlled government.
The government is claiming wide victories across the country. As there were no International Observers from the OAS or much of any kind of poll-watching, this is in the hands of the Supreme Electoral Council, who are the ones that banned the poll watching,...
...and there are already reports of deaths in post-election violence.
