With more than 92 % of the examined voting cards, Daniel Nuboa was re -elected as Ecuador, 55.8 % and the advantage of more than ten points on his opponent Luisa Gonzales, which remains 44.13 % after the second round. But the middle left candidate does not recognize the results, accuses her opponent of fraud and asks for voting on votes
Roberta Barbie – Vatican City
The turbulent result of the second round of the presidential elections held yesterday in Ecuador: The center -right of the center Daniel Nuboa was confirmed to the national democratic action movement, as head of state for a second consecutive mandate, and received more than 55 % of the votes.
The second round was held yesterday more than two months after the first – which was held on February 9 – and after only two years of exceptional elections for the year 2023, which caused the application of a mechanism known as “death across” against former President Guirmo Laso.
Preventive candidate protest
If Nubua celebrates his own confirmation, he talks about a “historic victory”, so the Citizen Revolution Movement, Luisza Gonzalez, who has developed surveys ten points behind the winner, does not make 44 % approval.
“The greatest fraud in the history of Ecuador,” Gonzalez said when commenting on the results published by the National Electoral Council. Gonzalez, with the support of the former head of the left, Rafael Korea, would have become the first woman at the head of the state in South America and announced that he would demand the re -counting of votes.
