MANAGUA, Oct. 23 (Xinhua) -- About 70 percent of Nicaraguans do not agree with the successive presidential election, neither with the reelection of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega nor that he continues one more term, a poll said Friday.

    According to the poll by the Nicaraguan M&R Consultores poll maker, 68.3 percent of the 800 respondents across the country do not agree with the immediate presidential reelection or the continuation of Ortega in power after 2012, when his term will finish.

    On Oct. 19, six Nicaraguan magistrates from the Supreme Court of Justice issued a sentence in favor of the reelection, giving Ortega and 109 mayors the possibility of being reelected.

    Most of the Nicaraguans think that the presidential reelection "tends to weaken democracy and to restore a dictatorship," only 23.6 percent thinks that the reelection "contributes to strengthening democracy," and 8.1 percent said they do not know about the issue, according to the pool.

    Also 71.3 percent of the respondents think Ortega does not "deserve" to continue another presidential term, while 24.6 percent thinks the contrary, and 4.1 percent said they do not know.
