Gustavo Porras, president of the National Assembly of Nicaragua and an official sanctioned by four major powers, formally concluded a constitutional reform on Thursday. The new legislation eliminates electoral competition and extends the ruling power of President Daniel Ortega and Vice President Rosario Murillo.
The reform, defended by Porras under the framework of Ortega's constitution, effectively establishes an electoral process conducted without political opposition.
