Nicaragua Small Non-UNO Parties
Several political groups that opposed the Sandinistas
during
the 1980s but did not run with the UNO coalition in 1990
had
almost disappeared from the national political scene by
1993.
These parties included one or more factions of the PCD,
considered one of the larger opposition parties during the
1980s;
the leaders included Clemete Guido, Eduardo Molina
Palacios, and
Rafael Cordova Rivas. Non-UNO parties also included
smaller
parties that were breakaway factions, led by prominent
figures of
parties that were affiliated with the UNO: Mauricio Díaz
Davila's
faction of the PPSC; Erick Ramírez Benevente's PCSN, a
breakaway
from the PSC; and Rodolfo Robelo's Independent Liberal
Party of
National Unity (Partido Liberal Independiente de Unidad
Nacional-
-PLIUN), a splinter group from the PLI (see
table 11,
Appendix
A). The only member of these groups to gain a seat in the
National Assembly was Moisés Hassan Morales of the MUR, a
breakaway faction of the FSLN; Hassan automatically gained
a seat
as a defeated presidential candidate.
