QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — Ecuador’s ruling party pushed ahead Thursday with a plan to allow indefinite re-election of President Rafael Correa and other officials.

Congressional leader Gabriela Ribadeneira submitted a package of proposed reforms to the country’s Constitutional Court, which now has 45 days to decide if the plan must be submitted to a national referendum or if it can be decided by the legislature. The governing party has plenty of votes in Congress to enact the amendments.
