Democratic Party (Nicaragua)

The Democratic Party (Spanish: Partido Democrático - PD) was a Nicaraguan political party in the 19th century. The power base of the liberal Democratic Party was in the city of León. The Democrats were opposed to the Legitimists who expelled the Democrats from the constitutional assembly in 1853, driving them underground or into exile, and promulgated a constitution of 1854.
The Democrats rejected the constitution and the Legitimist government and fought against it with the help of filibuster William Walker.
The liberal parties in Nicaragua have their roots in the historical Democratic Party.
