Nicaragua Waits for Vote
Recount
Managua - Nicaragua
waits on Thursday for a
vote recount, authorized
by the election council
in Managua to avert
violence in the nation
after regional elections
held on Sunday.
Dozens of followers of
Sandinista candidate to
Managua mayor's office
Alexis Arguello are
demonstrating in front
of the CSE (Supreme
Election Council) since
Wednesday's announcement
of a vote recount.
Disturbances began on
Monday when the
opposition Nicaragua
Liberal Party refused to
accept the partial
results that showed they
were losing against the
Sandinista Liberation
Front in most
municipalities.
Facing the violence
unleashed by followers
of Liberal candidate
Eduardo Montealegre, CSE
President Roberto Rivas
authorized the vote
recount.
Rivas said that, though
there is no provision
for this recount in the
current election
legislation, the
decision was made to
show Nicaragua citizens
their vote has been
respected. |
