MANAGUA, NICARAGUA — Former revolutionary Daniel Ortega took a big lead in this country's presidential election late Sunday and was close to securing a first-round victory that would bring his Sandinista National Liberation Front back to power 16 years after Nicaraguans voted him out of office, election officials said. Early returns reported by the Supreme Electoral Council showed Ortega leading Eduardo Montealegre, 41% to 33%, with 7% of precincts counted. Election officials said the results were being delayed by a large turnout, estimated at 75%. Officials said privately that Ortega appeared to be cruising to a first-round victory. Ortega, a youthful icon of the Latin American left in the 1980s, led by double digits in the final preelection polls but needed to win at least 35% of the vote to avoid a December runoff. One Nicaraguan TV station said a quick count of ballots showed that Ortega had won 40% of the vote. "We have ample faith in God that the Nicaraguan people will win a first-round victory," Ortega, now an avuncular 60-year-old, said as he cast his vote in this capital city. He said Nicaragua's neighbors had nothing to fear should the Sandinistas return to power.
