Nicaraguan leader Daniel Ortega said the Central American country would no longer hold elections, further closing off any potential path for the opposition to challenge the government he leads with his wife, Rosario Murillo.
Ortega, Nicaragua’s longest-serving leader, has remained in power since 2007 after previously governing during the 1980s. His current presidential term is scheduled to run through 2027.
“There won’t be any more elections here for them to try to seize the government and seize power,” Ortega said.
He delivered the remarks Sunday during a speech commemorating the 1979 Sandinista revolution, in which Ortega participated in the overthrow of the U.S.-backed dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza.
The declaration appeared to eliminate the possibility of a future electoral challenge as Ortega and Murillo continue consolidating control over the country’s political institutions.
“The days when parties backed by the Yankees (United States) and the Somocistas would return to power are over — never again,” Ortega declared.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the U.S. State Department for comment.
The Trump administration has described the Ortega-Murillo government as a dictatorship and imposed sanctions on members of the government and their allies. The State Department has also enacted visa restrictions targeting more than 2,350 Nicaraguan officials and their family members.
“The United States stands with the Nicaraguan people who, like Rivera, aspire to see a free Nicaragua,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in June.
The Biden administration previously said Ortega illegitimately awarded himself another term following Nicaragua’s disputed 2021 presidential election.
Authorities arrested presidential candidates, opposition figures, business leaders and journalists ahead of that vote as the government intensified its criminalization of dissent.

How Democrat of Ortega.
And Cuba...
That garbage is still there
The Iran-Contra affair was meant to get rid of Daniel Ortega.
Without USAID, he knows he’s cooked.
The Trump administration has described the Ortega-Murillo government as a dictatorship and imposed sanctions on members of the government and their allies.

Does the US also sanction members of the Chinese government, for the same reason?
Never have forgotten John/Jean/Kerry visiting Ortega and encouraging the complete takeover and a Communist dictatorship- emphasis on dictatorship and his skank wife— a private pla7 tation of slave population, and police state.
Kerry’s dream. John Fn Kerry. Wonder what he would say now-about Ortega his buddy- globull bullcrap clown and Iranian backchannel deal cutter for payoff of a fake Hague case “due” to mullahcracy Iran from the era of the first Pahlavi dynasty. Kerry made off the books deals with the IRGC in Paris. And, the hated “Anons” got a spread of surveillance photos of him doing this. A premier Communist a@@hole gigolo who “married” John Heinz’s widow— that’s 57 varieties of life time gigolo with an Irishified last name on a fully Euro-Jewish family. Can’t make this up.
In the last North Korea general election, Kim Jong Un’s party won 99.93% of the vote.
Don’t be so lazy, Mr. Ortega. Keep on holding elections, and try to beat that 99.93%. You can do it. You just gotta get the right vote-counters in place.
He’s watched all his communist buddies losing elections. Best way to avoid losing? No election.
Another lingering festering sore brought to you by the Carter (mis) Administration. Another clean up in aisle 7 geopolitically speaking.
Are all the Cubans who were running Venezuela now in Nicaragua?
Sounds like a job for an “errant” Tomahawk.
Yes, it was, and it would have worked but for the “democracy” of the crazed Democrat party, the Boland Amendment and a@@holes like John Kerry. Really wish that bastard all of the amenities of a long drawn out demented and physical breaking down old age— he should live so long. Someone to have healthy hatred of and “inheritance” realized.
Thanks for posting. Ortega the revolutionary is getting old.
He must be a democratic socialist?
Yet another example for stupid Americans who won’t pay attention.
And the US if they can “sell” this same crap to a nation of illegals not deported, and ignore our Republic and our Constitution. The work done on electoral fraud by them is a direct action replacement of their cadre of lunatics.
See: obamaumao’s judges and their ridiculous backgrounds and political “rulings”. They too should be removed, legally if possible extralegally if neccesary.
We should not forget that no elections is the “ruling” of Zelensky in the cash gravy kickback scheme— supported by US “democrats” for that sort of democracy. A dick-tater for certain.
I love his taco sauce and canned chili peppers.
