Noboa defeated Luisa González for a second time, as González's unfounded fraud claims fail to gain traction, while Ecuador faces ongoing security and economic crises.
- Daniel Noboa won Ecuador's presidential runoff election with 55.6% of the vote, defeating Luisa González for the second time in two years.

- Noboa's campaign benefited from González's missteps, including errors tied to her association with former president Rafael Correa and unclear policy positions.
- Noboa's informal engagement with Donald Trump, including a visit to Mar-a-Lago, bolstered his image as a leader with international connections, influencing voter sentiment.
- Ecuador continues to grapple with a severe security crisis and economic challenges, as Noboa's leadership faces pressure to deliver tangible results in his new term.
