The Sandinista National Liberation Front won 91 out of 146 municipalities, including the capital, according to an official count of 86 percent of the vote after Sunday's polls, which were marked by violence and allegations of fraud. Early official returns showed Monday that Nicaragua's ruling Sandinista National Liberation Front has taken the lead in municipal elections marked by violence and allegations of fraud. The Reagan-Bush team finally achieved its goal of ousting the Sandinistas on February 25, 1990, when a majority of Nicaraguan voters chose the United Nicaraguan Opposition, headed by Violeta Barrios de Chamorro, over the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN), headed by Daniel Ortega Saavadra, by a margin of 55 to 41 percent. |
