MEXICO CITY — Nicaraguan lawmakers stated they will carry out President Daniel Ortega's plan to abolish elections in the Central American country, prompting new criticism from the international community on Wednesday. The measure was announced in a statement on Tuesday by the National Assembly, which is firmly under the control of Ortega and his wife, co-president Rosario Murillo. The Assembly noted that the latest constitutional reform will ensure 'peace, security, and stability' in the country. This legislative action follows Ortega's announcement over the weekend that 'there will be no more elections here,' reflecting both his effort to extend his nearly 20-year rule and to eliminate any possibility of opposition coming to power.
