Ecuador Polls Open for Tight Presidential Runoff Election

ai generated text

Ecuador's presidential runoff election is taking place, with Daniel Noboa and Luisa González facing off. Noboa, 37, a conservative candidate, initially won a snap election in 2023 after his predecessor's term was cut short. He is now vying for a full four-year term, while González, 47, is backed by Ecuador's left-wing former President Rafael Correa. The first round of voting in February ended in a near-tie between the two candidates.

  1. EC
    Daniel Noboa
    1. This is a fight for ports, for borders, for entire towns. … The dispute is over our way of life.
  2. EC
    Matías Abad Merchán
    1. Despite Noboa having been in power for a short time, a small anti-Noboa segment of the electorate has indeed emerged – one that genuinely feels the president displays certain authoritarian tendencies.
  3. EC
    Pedro Labayen Herrera
    1. The economy is not doing better, security is not doing better, people are facing blackouts, and they're also witnessing a deterioration of the rule of law, with growing disregard for the constitution.
  4. EC
    Jean Paul Pinto
    1. If Luisa loses on Sunday, there are going to be a lot of strikes.
    2. Noboa thinks that he can govern like he managed his companies.
  5. EC
    Alberto Acosta Burneo
    Spurrier
    1. The population has fewer possibilities to go out on the street, to a restaurant, to make a purchase; it's risky.
  6. US
    Will Freeman
    Council on Foreign Relations
    1. Noboa has said, 'I will only concede if there are no signs of fraud,'
    2. He did even say during the first round that he thought there was fraud. It sort of feels like he's rhetorically preparing the ground not to concede in the case of a very close outcome.
    3. Now you're seeing (Noboa) really engaged in some tactics usually more associated with the populist left.
  7. US
    Andrés Mejía Acosta
    University of Notre Dame
    1. For both of them, democracy gets in the way, state-strengthening gets in the way.
    2. Both of them are not as committed to upholding democratic principles because they get in the way of their ambitions.
