Ecuadorean opposition candidate Luisa Gonzalez, a protégé of former President Rafael Correa (2007-2017), celebrated victory Sunday. She and the incumbent Daniel Noboa were on the brink of being confirmed as having qualified for April 13's runoff after neither clinched a decisive 50% majority.
A runoff scheduled for April 13 seems inevitable in Ecuador after this coming Sunday's elections. Pollsters do not seem to agree on the exact figures but all of them foresee that incumbent President Daniel Noboa and his leftwing challenger Luisa González would finish among the two top contenders with neither clinching a decisive majority of at least 50%.
Arguably one of the most violent countries in the world, Ecuador will pick its next President on Sunday in a runoff between Lawyer Luisa González and businessman Daniel Noboa.
Luisa Gonzalez and Daniel Noboa on Sunday outlined their plans ahead of the October 15 runoff election to determine who will be Ecuador's next president.
Luisa González of former President Rafel Correa's Revolucion Ciudadana (RC) was the most-voted candidate in Sunday's elections in Ecuador marred by last week's murder of Movimiento Construye's (MC) hopeful Fernando Villavicencio.
