OAS MONITORS IN NICARAGUA URGE REVISED ELECTORAL SYSTEM
March 13, 2002
The Organization of American States Electoral Observation Mission in Nicaragua has called for urgent reform of the electoral system to resolve the problems facing the nation's chief electoral body.
Delivering an oral report on the March 3 regional elections on Nicaragua's Atlantic Coast, Chief of Mission Santiago Murray told the OAS Permanent Council today that the OAS monitors saw "how precarious the institutional capacity of Nicaragua's Supreme Electoral Council was, with the members unable to reach agreement even though, as a collegiate body, they were duly equipped."
He said the OAS Observation Mission supported the idea behind yesterday's meeting of the Electoral Council's full membership, to begin procedural arrangements to announce the election results. "We hope there will be no further disunity in the collegiate body, so that continuity of its constitutional functions is not compromised," said Murray.
The OAS Mission also commended the regional and municipal authorities, most of whom expressed their commitment to seeing the electoral process through to a happy conclusion.
Eighteen international observers made up the OAS team of monitors including citizens from 8 member states as well as Japan, Norway, Spain and Sweden. The observers operated from three bases—one in Managua and two in the (North and South) Atlantic Autonomous Regions.
Nicaragua's Ambassador, Lombardo Martínez, told the Permanent Council meeting that his government "is well aware of the enormous challenges in developing democratic institutions." He quoted Nicaraguan President Enrique Bolaños’ statement at the beginning of his term in which he expressed "total commitment to a sweeping overhaul of the judiciary, the electoral system and the Auditor General's Office, to make them more democratic, more participatory and more professional, in keeping with the times."
