Ortega wins back Nicaragua presidency
Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega won Nicaragua's presidential election with 38 percent of the vote as 91 percent counted, narrowly avoiding a runoff under the 35 percent rule. Montalegre conceded, noting a five point lead would have been needed for outright victory. The U.S. reaction was muted, while Latin American leftists including Chavez applauded the result and Ortega pledged to pursue his promises.
