"On March 6, 2008, Arguello was nominated by the Sandanista Party of Nicaragua to run for Mayor of capital city Managua in upcoming open elections. Arguello will run for the mayoral office in the upcoming November 2008 elections against Eduardo Montealegre, the conservative candidate of the ******* Alliance Party who lost the election for President of Nicaragua in 2006 to Daniel Ortega."
Does anyone have further information about this? While I am no expert on the political history of Nicaragua, it certainly strikes me as strange. If I'm not mistaken, the Sandanista were responsible for the forced exile of Arguello and his family, as well as the seizure of all his assets and property in the country circa 1980.
It seems a bit odd, even all these years later (and perhaps after significant changes in the party structure) that Arguello would be willing to associate (indeed, ally) himself with the group that he was so outspoken against during his career as a boxer.
