Right-wing incumbents have a four-year term of office that enacts committing to crack down on crime and improving the economy.
Ecuadorian right-wing president Daniel Novore was re-elected in a second-round election leak.
The National Election Council declared later Sunday that incumbents who had pledged to boost the flag’s economy and continue cracking down on cartel violence have won by a large margin.
It was reported that the 37-year-old Noboa accounted for 55.8% of the votes, as more than 90% of the votes were counted. It gave him a 12-point lead over his left-wing opponent, Luisa Gonzalez.
However, his rivals had suggested that the vote had been running near the incumbent, claiming that the vote was fraudulent and demanding a recount.
Noboa, who was elected in the SNAP in 2023, is fully entrusting a four-year mandate to continue its divisive “manodura” (severe) crackdown on violence related to the trafficking of cocaine produced in neighboring Colombia and Peru. Smuggling and related crimes have devastated Ecuador since 2021.
“The Ecuadorians spoke. I’ll be going to work tomorrow morning,” Novoa told supporters in a brief speech in his hometown of Oron. He also criticized the other party’s allegations of fraud.
Gonzalez may have been punished by the vote for his close ties with populist Firebrand president Rafael Correa, but he told supporters the outcome was “the worst and most grotesque election fraud in Ecuadorian history.”
The result was a surprise to many after the first round in February, with Novoa winning just 16,746 votes ahead of Gonzalez. The latter candidate was supported by Leonidas Isa, a powerful Indigenous leader who secured more than half a million votes in the first round.
However, voters were very concerned about the surge in drug-related violence. Once upon a time, the average nation averaged kills at the beginning of the year, as cartels once fought to control the cocaine route that passed through Ecuadorian ports.
Rampant Bloodsed has just astounded investors and tourists, spurring economic lies, and inflated the class of Ecuador’s poor to 28% of the population.
Novoa, the heir to a family property built on the banana trade, had taken power 16 months ago, deployed his troops to the streets, captured drug lords and invited special forces to the United States, and had risked his political fate on strict security policies.
