Ecuador's President Noboa Replaces Vice President Amid Political Turmoil

President Daniel Noboa appoints Sariha Moya as interim vice president following the suspension of Veronica Abad, escalating tensions ahead of the upcoming election.

  • President Noboa has removed Vice President Veronica Abad from her position, citing her delayed relocation from Israel to Turkey as a breach of duty.
  • Sariha Moya, a member of Noboa's inner circle, has been appointed as the interim vice president for a period covering the electoral campaign.
  • Veronica Abad claims her suspension is a political maneuver to prevent her from assuming presidential duties during Noboa's re-election campaign.
  • The decision has sparked criticism, with accusations of constitutional violations and concerns over democratic stability in Ecuador.
  • The political landscape is further complicated by the disqualification of conservative candidate Jan Topic, who blames Noboa for the ruling.
