Answer
The "de jure" ruler of Nicaragua, Anastasio Somoza García, held the office of the presidency twice. The first tenure lasted from 1937 to 1947, and the second presidency occurred following his re-election in 1950, and continued until his assassination in 1956. This two-time rule solidified his family's power and set the stage for the Somoza dynasty that would lead the nation for decades, shaping Nicaragua's political landscape.
