This article lists political parties in Nicaragua.

Political culture

Historically, Nicaragua had a two-party system, with varying two dominant political parties. The 2006 general election could have marked the end of the bipartite scheme, as the anti-Sandinista forces split into two major political alliances: the Nicaraguan Liberal Alliance (ALN) and the Constitutionalist Liberal Party (PLC).

Four parties and alliances currently hold seats in the National Assembly:

		Ideology	Deputies
Sandinista National Liberation Front Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional	FSLN	Socialism	63
Constitutionalist Liberal Party Partido Liberal Constitucionalista	PLC	Liberal conservatism	2
Independent Liberal Party Partido Liberal Independiente	PLI	Conservative liberalism	26
