The story
On November 8 Nicaraguans were supposed to elect a president, but the dictatorship of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo, co-presidents since the 2025 reform, never called the vote.
That day Juan Pablo Segura, Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, wrote: «We have not forgotten that Nicaraguans should be voting in presidential elections today», and called them «two despots». Five days earlier Trump had renewed the national emergency on Nicaragua for a year, with no new names, and in September Marco Rubio had announced more measures over the reform that limits elections. What remains to be seen is whether new sanctions with names arrive before the month is out.
YES if between November 9 and 29, 2026 (Miami time) the US Treasury (OFAC) or the State Department announces new financial or visa sanctions against at least one named person or entity linked to the Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo regime. The November 3 renewal of the national emergency does not count. NO if no new sanction is announced in that period.
