Nicaragua’s 2011elections has inclined into a one-man rule according to the Miami Herald, withDaniel Ortega leading in the elections by 36% of the votes.

Carlos Chamorro, a leading TV and print journalist, said to the Miami Herald, “…I don’t see anybody who could challenge him in the polls. The opposition is weak and divided.”

Ortega was president of Nicaragua after the 1979 Sandinista Revolution and was put back into power in 2006. It is widely believed between the Sandinista guerillas that he has violated the constitution and has used the church as a way back into the 2011 elections.

The use of Ortega’s religious talks at campaigns has caused the Catholic Church to demand a greater separation between church and state.Ortega’s wife and communications director has also been involved in religious talks during campaigns.

“The July 19 act is like a great mass… a revolutionary mass where we will sing and fill ourselves with the God of the Poor and love for our fellow man,” said Rosario Murillo, Ortega’s wife in the annual celebration of Sandinista revolution.

While Ortega remains with the highest percent of votes in this year’s election, the people from Nicaragua have shown opposition to Ortega’s beliefs and ideas.

According to TIME magazine, a group of Sandinista guerillas and contra fighters have stood united against Ortega’s efforts to suppressdemocracy and avoid constitutional term limits to get himself reelected.

This year’s election will take place in November, and both the Sandinista guerillas and contra fighters believe this to be the last chance to find a civil solution to Nicaragua’s political issues.
