Juan de Dios Orozco

Last updated

Juan de Dios Orozco was a Nicaraguan politician who served as acting Supreme Director of Nicaragua from 1 April to 31 May 1843.

In 1823 Mexican Emperor Agustín de Iturbide began plans to annex the Federal Republic of Central America. Intendant of León, Bishop Nicolás García Jerez, a supporter of the annexation plans, left the city, and Orozco formed a commission with Dionisio Urcuyo y Crespín and Juan Hernández, alcalde of Sutiaba, which appointed Brigadier González Saravia as the new intendant of the city. [1]

In 1843, the previous Supreme Director, Pablo Buitrago y Benavente resigned and the Parliament appointed Orozco as Acting Supreme Director, who held the position until the Parliament elected a new Supreme Director. Originally, public elections were attempted, but failed because no candidate obtained the required majority vote. [2]
