The SEC deprived the opposition of the opportunity to stand for free elections and ensured the organisation of polls in non-democratic conditions. On 3 October 2023, the SEC cancelled the legal status of Yatama, the main indigenous political party in Nicaragua, hindering its participation in the March 2024 elections in two autonomous regions of the country (Costa Caribe and Costa Caribe Norte). The SEC is therefore responsible for the repression of democratic opposition and for undermining democracy and the rule of law in Nicaragua. 10.1.2022’
