Key Facts
—Proposed Term A draft reform presented to the National Assembly on July 28, 2026, proposes extending the presidential term from six to seven renewable years.
—Expected Approval A first vote is expected in early September 2026, but the reform must pass two separate legislatures, so final ratification would not come until the first half of 2027.
—Co-Presidency The reform builds on a constitutional overhaul approved in November 2024 and in force since February 2025 that established a co-presidency for Daniel Ortega and his wife, Rosario Murillo.
