Wikipedia is covering the Nicaraguan elections with up-to-the-minute information on the results. It also pulls together an impressive amount of background information.
It is well worth checking out the comments on the BBC website to get a sense of reaction to Ortega's election win.
It's interesting to reread Andrew Anthony's piece 'How I woke up and smelt the coffee' that was in the review section of The Observer in the light of Ortega's win. Below is the intro to the article:
"Like many others Andrew Anthony went to Nicaragua to support the Sandinistas by picking coffee, building loos - and drinking rum. Two decades later he returned as Nicaraguans, their revolution long defeated, prepared to vote in new elections. He found the country had changed as much as himself - with a reinvented Daniel Ortega still in business."
