Nicaragua Party to Find New Candidate
Analyst Oscar Rene Vargas said it would very hard for the Sandinista Renovating Party to keep the political room created by charismatic presidential candidate Herty Lewites, who died of a hart attack.

"I think it will be very difficult for Herty Lewites supporters to keep the political room he achieved," asserted Vargas, speaking to TV Channel 12.

Surveys showed Herty Lewites third in intention of votes vis-à-vis the November 5 elections, behind Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) candidate Daniel Ortega, and Eduardo Montealegre, of the Nicaraguan Nacional Alliance.

Lewites was very popular among people, especially those in Managua, where he was a major between 2000 and 2004, representing the FSLN by then.

He died of myocardial infarction on Sunday.
