Detailed Solution

Elected leaders staying in power indefinitely is not valid in a democracy.
A democracy is a form of government in which the people elect the rulers. The final decision-making power always rests with those elected by the people democratically. Democracies also practise the Universal Adult Franchise. Following this, it is also established that every adult citizen has one vote, and each vote has one value. Finally, representatives are elected for a fixed period. It is to ensure that they remain accountable to the elected citizens. Elected leaders do not stay in power indefinitely.
