Problem: When a peer is left amlone in an election, an election starts but will never end properly #735

The last remaining peer in an election sends an ELECT message that will have no response so the election will not end completely.
This leaves the election in an incomplete state indefinitely.

Solution: Force the only remaining peer in an election to consider itself as LEADER in said election.
This behavior is observed only when there was peer assigned to an election, all those peers left but one including the LEADER.
