Daniel Ortega, who is the current President of Nicaragua, is running for his fourth term in the elections - he, and his wife Vice President Rosario Murillo, are met by 3 opposing candidates in the elections. 

Recently, Ortega has ordered the imprisonment of 7 potential candidates, which the US and the EU have openly denounced. The candidates were imprisoned on the count of money laundering and treason. 

A number of parties will be participating in the event: Along with Ortega, the Constitutional Liberal Party, the Independent Liberal Party, the Nicaraguan Liberal Alliance, the Nicaraguan Christian Way, and the Alliance for the Republic will be involved. 

If Ortega were to win, he will be running as the longest-serving president in the Americas until 2027.
