• Redirect to Elections in Nicaragua#Municipal election results 1990-2004. A search for sources finds several probably reliable that confirm that this organisation did run a candidate for Mayor of Managua in 1996, taking advantage of what seems to have been a short-lived provision in Nicaraguan electoral law, who was expected to win but was in fact narrowly defeated. Seeing that Managua is both Nicaragua's capital and its largest city, it is not surprising that this organisation gets passing mentions when the electoral provision it used is discussed in accounts of the 1996 elections. However, the target article already gives every fact in this article in better context. The same also applies to Civic Association of Potosí, although that organisation won the corresponding election in Potosí (and actually has a cited source apparently confirming this) and therefore arguably has a better case for stand-alone notability.
