SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Daniel Ortega, Presidential Candidate National Sandinista Liberation Front (FSLN) "We are going through an election process and I see that the Liberal party is afraid to lose and is running to the US for help. The President and the Defense minister are speaking with the Ambassador hoping for the US to say something before they lose the elections. So the US is doing them the favour of their support. But I want to make clear that this election is not going to jeopardize the relationship between the US and Nicaragua, its government and its people." Ticuantepe 5.

SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Daniel Ortega, Presidential Candidate National Sandinista Liberation Front (FSLN) "The most important thing is that they (the US) are going to respect the results of the elections and that they are going to deal with the new Nicaraguan government. I think that is the most important thing. It is very positive. We are in front of an election that we want to be honest, clean and organised so that no one will question our victory. This is going to help our relationship with the US and the international community in favour of the Nicaraguan people." 7. More of FSLN members welcoming Ortega 8.

Presidential Candidate Daniel Ortega from the National Sandinista Liberation Front (FSLN) ties the polls and tends to advance as the principal political party to win the election. Since Ortega lost the presidential election in 1990 and 1996 the FSNL has tried to project a different image of the party from the classic revolutionary leftist ideology that governed the country in the 1980s. This process has been lined by its links with a variety of other political parties promoting a "mea culpa" image recognizing the mistakes made in Ortega's last term in office. There are different interpretations of this new image, one that intends to show the evolution of a Sandinista party towards a new political era in the country and second as an attempt to capture those voters tired of the current political strategies of the last governing party. Enrique Bolanos of the governing Constitutionalist Liberal Party (PLC) is Ortega's main competition. FSLN and PLC share the electoral spectrum in the country showing a tie between the parties in the polls.
