Daniel Ortega elected, according to a radio Sandinista
MANAGUA - the ex-guerillero Daniel Ortega would be elected with the first turn of the presidential election, according to the radio "primerissima", a radio operator pro-Sandinista who quotes a nonofficial fast calculation.
The Face Sandinista of release Nationale (FSLN) would obtain 40,22% of the votes, in front of national Alliance nicaragueyenne (ALN) of Eduardo Montealegre with 30,3O%, the Party Liberal Constitutionaliste (PLC) of Jose Rizo 22%, the movement of restoration Sandinista (MRS) of Edmundo Jarquin 6,67% and Alliance for the change (AC) of Eden Pastora 0,4%.
Close of the district géneral sandnist in the colony Maximo Sherry, of the partisans commencaient to celebrate the victory.
To be elected with the first turn, Daniel Ortega was to obtain at least 35 % of the voices with 5% in advance on the candiat arriving as a second.
These figures were not confirmed by the Electoral Supreme Council which must give the first official results towards 23H00 local (05H00 GMT) and had asked the candidates and the media to abstain from publishing other results.
There wasn't a huge difference between the Sandinistas and those they replaced.
Well, now we know where Kerry fled to..
If he doesn't get 50% then there's a runoff election in which case the 60% will band together and defeat Ortega once again. In fact, if history is any sign, it will probably be greater because some people who sat out this time will realize Ortega's still a possibility and will do what's needed. It should be said though that Ortega has played this campaign like the DemoncRATs have here in the US, putting up phony "conservative" candidates.
I agree, and I saw a report that he'd found God...so perhaps he's a changed individual...probably still a socialist, but if the people honestly chose that it is a choice they will have to live with or vote in non-socialists in the future.
The Colombians would prefer if we spelled the name of their country correctly.
Ithought they got rid of this guy 15 years ago!
He supported the recent law to ban all abortions even those of rape and incest victims and pregnancies that threaten the life of the mother.
Let's face it, voters are stupid and non-thinking. That's why democratic societies don't last. Whatever, I don't care anymore.
no way.
we need to respect the right of Nicaragua to vote in any pos they want
I'd heard that. Won't that be a fun little factoid to throw back at some of the looney left who will no doubt fall on their knees to worship him just out of habit?
There's a good example of what happens when there are multiples parties running for office, you get a Marxist. None the less, 40% voted for him.
Elected like Clinton with FAR less than 50% of the vote because a third party was in the mix.
They get that close.... then I think we'll need a fence along the Arizona border with Mexico AND California.
