Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Right-wing political parties have dominated Nicaraguan politics since independence in 1838. From the times of the antagonical Democratic and Legitimist parties, the Liberals and Conservatives have succeeded each other in the government with the exception of the Sandinista rule from 1979 to 1990. This two-party system, with two dominant political parties, has survived until our days with the difference that the two rival forces today are the FSLN and the self-appointed Democratic Forces (anti-Sandinistas).In the last 16 years, the National Opposition Union (UNO) in 1990, the Liberal Alliance (AL) in 1996 and the Constitutionalist Liberal Party (PLC) in 2001 have all defeated the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) candidate Daniel Ortega in three consecutive presidential elections.
