This article lists political parties in Nicaragua.
This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2023) |
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]
Three parties and alliances currently hold seats in the National Assembly:
