		Herty Lewites, once an integral member of the FSLN revolutionary movement, was close to party leader Daniel Ortega during the 1979 revolution and remained so throughout the partyâs time in power in the 1980s.
		Lewites, who possessed strong leftist credentials â“ having participated actively in the revolution alongside Ortega from its first day, only later to separate himself from the FLSN party â“ represented a compelling alternative to the legacy of corruption and cronyism that has scarred Ortegaâs reputation and permeated his party in recent years.
		Lewitesâ platform was centered on empowering Nicaraguan civil society by liberalizing the political system and reintroducing a democracy in which the common citizen can influence the political process.

		Herty Lewites had made his political reputation as FSLN mayor of the capital, Managua, between 2001 and 2005.
		Lewites regarded such rhetoric as outmoded, and argued for a non-confrontational relationship with the United States, where hundreds of thousands of Nicaraguans live and work, many of them as illegal immigrants.
		Ortega appointed Lewites tourism minister, and he was part of the FSLN regime that defied the US-backed "Contra" rebels throughout the 1980s.

	Revista Envío - Proyecto Herty Lewites: El miedo de Daniel Ortega a los vientos que sembró
		Lewites se había alejado del FSLN desde el Congreso de 1994, cuando se enfiló con las posiciones de la corriente interna “Por un Sandinismo que vuelva a las Mayorías”, embrión de lo que en 1995 se convertiría en el Movimiento de Renovación Sandinista (MRS).
		Herty percibió en esta definición una latente amenaza de muerte: Llamar traidor al FSLN a alguien es cosa seria -declaró- y cualquier fanático se puede cobrar esa supuesta traición.
		Lewites necesita ganar respaldo entre las estructuras activas y, de ser posible, que algunas figuras nacionales, departamentales, o cuando menos municipales, se pronuncien públicamente a su favor, o al menos a favor de su participación en las elecciones primarias.

	Revista Envío - Herty Lewites: Now a “Spiritual Candidate”
		Lewites was the dark-horse Sandinista candidate who, following a highly successful term as mayor of Managua, had excited so many dispersed Sandinista energies in January 2005 by announcing he would run against FSLN leader and perennial candidate Daniel Ortega in the party’s presidential primary.
		The opportunity represented by Herty Lewites was gradually deploying its potential and acquiring form in the MRS Alliance and at the time of his death it was still not fully defined.
		Before Lewites’ death, most polls were showing Daniel Ortega ahead by anywhere from one to several points, although none gave him the 35% needed to win in the first round, much less with the 5% lead over the second-placed candidate legally required to win with such a small percentage.

	The Upcoming Nicaraguan Elections - Council on Hemispheric Affairs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Most notably, the late presidential candidate Herty Lewites, who was a key actor in the revolution and closely collaborated with Ortega during the 1980s, was expelled from the party in March 2005 after expressing his intentions to contend for the FSLN candidacy in the 2006 presidential election.
		The support that Lewites attracted, both in his demand that a primary election be held within the FSLN and in his subsequent independent candidacy for Nicaraguaâs presidency, makes it clear that many within the party are dissatisfied with the current reign of Daniel Ortega and have sought ways to unseat him.
		Lewites was known for his charisma, humor, and honesty, three traits that made him a unique and lovable politician, and in this sense, he leaves JarquÃn with large shoes to fill.

	Upside Down World - Unexpected Death of Lewites Further Complicates Nicaragua’s November Elections
		Herty, who served as Minister of Tourism during the revolutionary decade of the 1980s and mayor of Managua from 2000-2005, died from a heart attack Sunday, July 2, in the Hospital Metropolitano Vivian Pellas in Managua.
		Herty was expelled from the Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional (FSLN) in February of 2005 over a dispute with the party’s president, Daniel Ortega, regarding the party’s selection of a presidential candidate.
		Those close to Herty have vowed to continue fighting for the Nicaragua he sought to create, yet finding a replacement for the charismatic Herty, who in the recent CID-Gallup poll garnered a 45% approval rate, the highest of all of the presidential candidates and the current president, is a tricky task.

	Herty Lewites Rodríguez-Comment-Obituaries-TimesOnline
		HERTY LEWITES, a candidate in Nicaragua’s forthcoming presidential election, fought alongside Daniel Ortega and the Sandinistas in the revolution against the Somoza military dictatorship but broke with Ortega in recent years.
		Lewites, a former tourism minister, MP and mayor of Managua, started off leading the opinion polls for this November’s election but had faded to third place of four candidates in recent weeks, possibly because US officials were seen to be warming to his campaign.
		Herty Lewites Rodríguez was born in Jinotepe, 30 miles south of Managua, on Christmas Eve, 1939, to Israel Lewites, a Polish immigrant who built up businesses including a chocolate factory and petrol stations, and Ana María Rodríguez, a student teacher.

		As a longtime Sandinista himself, Lewites is the main threat to the bigger of those American bugaboos, Ortega, who has failed in his last three bids for the presidency and is now running again.
		Ortega's backers expelled Lewites from the Sandinista party early this year even though polls showed he was by far their most popular candidate — and perhaps the most popular in the country.
		As a Sandinista, Lewites was elected mayor of Managua in 2000.

		Lewites was reported as declaring that should the presidential vote go to a second round run-off against the FSLN-Convergencia candidate Daniel Ortega without his own candidacy his advice to supporters would be to vote for the Liberal candidate.
		Lewites was quoted trying to justify this saying the IRI “has a budget to train election officials, they have that money, they know how much they are going to invest to prepare the election officials of the formula of those they want to support.
		The suspicion that Centeno's and Baltodano's articles are part of a coordinated propaganda offensive by Herty Lewites and the MRS in the wake of the Miami meeting is borne out not just by the similarity of the criticisms but by the similarity of the omissions.

		Montealegre and Herty Lewites were seated in one place and Rosario, Jaime Morales Carazo and Tomas Borge were seated in another with other comrades of ours.
		Rosario told me that when she and Herty greeted each other in peace he told her “Don't worry, we are still the same." That was a sign of the deep relationship we had.

	Anti-Semitism card played against Sandinista Nicaragua —already! \| World War 4 Report
		Lewites was the son of a Jewish immigrant who had helped supply the Sandinistas with arms when they were a guerrilla movement in the 1970s, but they slandered the father for his Jewish roots after he split from the group.
		Herty Lewites also represented the more principled wing of the Sandinistas which broke from Ortega's increasingly opportunistic caudillismo to form the dissident Sandinista Renewal Movement, something JTA's writer never makes clear in mentioning his presidential candidacy.
		It is not fair to call Herty the "Sandinistas' preferred candidate" when he was the candidate for the MRS and not the Sandinistas when he died--yes, he was popular as the Sandinista mayor of Managua but was then expelled from the party and DANIEL ORTEGA and not he was its candidate.

		"Herty Lewites was the most popular candidate in Nicaragua, and now that he is dead many are going to try to move in on his popularity," says MRS campaign manager and former Sandinista guerrilla leader Luis Carrión.
		Lewites was considered a no-nonsense straight shooter who was not afraid to swear in campaign ads.
		Lewites identified as both a Sandinista and a reformer — a condition that now allows each of the four other candidates to remember him as a brother of the same cause.
