Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega states nation will hold no more elections

Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega stated on Sunday that the nation would cease conducting elections. The 80-year-old leader, in office since 2007, declared his intention to collaborate with the congress he commands to enact new legislation. Many observers view this choice as a major intensification of the decline of democratic governance in the Central American nation.
