Supporters of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega celebrate in the streets of Managua - as the one-time revolutionary looks set to be re-elected based on preliminary results.<br/> The mood here is electric.<br/> (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) OMAR JARQUIN, ORTEGA SUPPORTER, SAYING:<br/> "The people won. The truth won. Peace and love. Daniel Ortega won fearlessly. Those that don't like, too bad."<br/> Ortega has overseen a period of economic progress in his five years in power - backed by financial aid from his socialist ally in Venezuela Hugo Chavez.<br/> A former commander of the Sandinista rebel army that took power in a 1979 revolution, Ortega has solidified his hold on the Central American country with programs to improve living standards and education.<br/> But he's also been blamed for undermining democratic institutions.<br/> Before the elections he amended the constitution to allow for a third term and some critics fear he aims to stay in power indefinitely.<br/> Travis Brecher, Reuters
