Career
Dubón served as a deputy to the National Assembly of Nicaragua, as a member of the Sandinista Renovation Movement (MRS), for about five years, from the 2011 general election until July 2016 when she was one of 26 deputies expelled from the Assembly.[2] The incident arose in the months preceding the Nicaraguan general election.[3] The Nicaraguan Supreme Court removed opposition leader of the Independent Liberal Party (PLI) Eduardo Montealegre and decreed that former party vice-president Pedro Reyes Vallejos was the new leader of the PLI.[4] After PLI and allied MRS deputies refused to acknowledge Reyes, viewing him as a puppet for President Daniel Ortega, Nicaragua's Supreme Electoral Council ordered them removed from the National Assembly and empowered Reyes to select their replacements.[4]
