The Sandanistas brought elections to Nicaragua, just 5 years after ousting the dictator. Just 6 years after that, they stepped down peacefully after losing elections.

The only reason was they had no choice.

Of course, like any good Communist regime, they had their fun with ethnic cleansing before losing their grip (in this case the indigenous Indian populations, who even under the previous dictatorships were left alone.) Along with the other usual human rights violations, secret police, etc, characteristic of Marxist-Lenninist regimes everywhere.
