Daniel Ortega Saavedra is a Nicaraguan politician currently serving as the President of Nicaragua. Born on November 11, 1945, he played a significant role in the Nicaraguan Revolution and became the country's main political force after the revolution. Ortega led the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) to overthrow the dictator Anastasio Somoza in 1985, becoming Nicaragua's first democratically elected president. However, he lost the presidency in 1990 due to internal conflict and external intervention. He was re-elected president in 2007 and has been re-elected ever since.
