Overview

  • Daniel Noboa won Ecuador's presidential runoff election with 55.6% of the vote, defeating Luisa González for the second time in two years.
  • Luisa González has alleged electoral fraud without evidence, a claim dismissed by international observers and even some within her own party.
  • 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.
