QUITO, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa, deadlocked with members of his own party in Congress, is considering dissolving the legislature in a move that would let him rule by decree until new elections, a minister said.

"This a scenario that nobody would want, but it is a possibility when the conditions for change do not exist," Policy Minister Doris Solis said after meeting Correa and other senior officials late on Wednesday.
