Nicaragua's Ortega Announces End to Future Elections

Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega announced that the country will no longer hold elections, effectively eliminating opposition challenges to his government. This declaration comes amid ongoing consolidation of power by Ortega and Vice President Rosario Murillo, with the U.S. government labeling their regime as a dictatorship and imposing sanctions. The announcement follows a history of electoral suppression and human rights violations under Ortega's leadership.
