Politics

According to the constitution promulgated on 9 January 1987 (revised several times, most recently in 2014), Nicaragua is a presidential republic. The head of state, the chief executive officer (head of government) and the commander-in-chief of the armed and security forces is the president (with a vice-president as deputy), who is directly elected for a period of 5 years. He can be re-elected indefinitely. The President appoints the members of the Cabinet and has a right of veto over Parliament.
