List of political parties in Nicaragua

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article lists political parties in Nicaragua.

Political culture

[edit]

Historically, Nicaragua had a two-party system, with varying two dominant political parties. The 2006 general election could have marked the end of the bipartite scheme, as the anti-Sandinista forces split into two major political alliances: the Nicaraguan Liberal Alliance (ALN) and the Constitutionalist Liberal Party (PLC).[1]
