Ortega's announcement eliminates the formal electoral process that could have ended his rule. The right-wing opposition had been gaining popular support before the shutdown.
Keir Starmer did just the same over a year ago, but that was for local county council elections. There is proposal to unify a lot of county councils into a few big unitary councils, the centralisation of power, naturally the voters don't get to vote on this and neither do the county councils.
There is a way out, if people want a town council they can organise one, that is legal but difficult to acheive.

This is the playbook the Dems would use in the US if they were in power.
They almost did it by first doing away electoral college and going for popular vote only. Joe Biden’s 81 million votes, for example.
And they failed as they will always fail.
That will end bad for him. He may end up getting economically fenced in. If you buy cigars from there better stock up.
Real shame if somebody had an accident within close proximity to him.
