    General Director of the Nicaraguan National Police (NNP) since 23 August 2018 and former Deputy General Director of NNP.

    19.

    Lumberto Ignacio CAMPBELL HOOKER

    Member of the Supreme Electoral Council, acting President of the Supreme Electoral Council in 2018

    Date of birth: 3.12.1949

    Place of birth: Raas, Nicaragua

    Gender: male

    Nationality: Nicaraguan

    Passport number: A00001109 (Nicaragua)

    ID number: 6010302490003J

    Lumberto Ignacio Campbell Hooker has been since 2014 a member of the Supreme Electoral Council (SEC) – a body responsible for the preparation, holding and certification of the general elections of 7 November 2021 which, by their lack of transparency, true opposition and democratic debate, undermined democratic institutions and processes. The SEC deprived the opposition of the opportunity to stand for free elections and ensured the organisation of polls in non-democratic conditions. His mandate as member of the SEC was renewed by the General Assembly in May 2021.

    He spoke to the media during the 7 November 2021 elections, justifying and praising their organisation.

    He is therefore responsible for the repression of democratic opposition and for undermining democracy and the rule of law in Nicaragua.
