General elections were held in Nicaragua on 25 February 1990 to elect the President and the members of the National Assembly.[1] The result was a victory for the National Opposition Union (UNO), whose presidential candidate Violeta Chamorro surprisingly defeated incumbent president Daniel Ortega of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN).[2] This led to a historic peaceful and democratic transfer of power in Nicaragua.
