Ortega Vows Nicaragua 'Will Never Again' Hold Free Elections After Crackdown on Opposition

Nicaraguan leader Daniel Ortega has announced that the country will no longer hold elections, effectively shutting out any potential path for the opposition to challenge his government. This move further consolidates Ortega's power and suppresses dissent. The announcement comes as Nicaragua grapples with widespread human rights abuses and a struggling economy. The decision marks a significant escalation in Ortega's authoritarian rule.
