MANAGUA (Reuters) - Former Nicaraguan president Enrique Bolanos, a conservative who challenged corruption on the right even as he remained a steadfast adversary of his leftwing successor Daniel Ortega, has died at the age of 93, his family said on Tuesday.

The Ortega government announced three days of mourning for Bolanos, who served as president from 2002-2007.
