US warns Nicaragua over plans to eliminate elections

Nicaragua's National Assembly has initiated legislative processes to formally abolish general elections, codifying President Ortega's directive to eliminate electoral competition and transition to a non-democratic governance model. This move is confirmed by multiple high-confidence sources, signaling a permanent shift in the country's political structure and the effective dissolution of democratic institutions. The US, Costa Rica, and the OAS have condemned these actions, with US officials warning of potential responses.
