The Correism lost this Sunday for the third time consecutive presidential elections in the second round, but his candidate, Luisa González, does not accept the results and has already announced that he will ask for a count of votes after denouncing, without providing evidence of moments, which has given “the most grotesque fraud in the history of Ecuador.”
With 92.48 % of the recorded acts, the current president of Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, It was re -elected to govern the country for four years to achieve 55.87 % of the votes compared to 44.13 % obtained at the moment González.
In the extraordinary elections of 2023, organized to complete the 2021-2025 mandate that President Guillermo Lasso did not completed, Noboa also imposed himself on González, although on that occasion the margin of Victoria was more meager to obtain 51.83 % compared to 48.17 % that the Corroist achieved, which at that time did accept its defeat.
In the 2021 elections, it was banker Guillermo Lasso who won the victory with 52.36 % of the votes against 47.64 % that Andres Aráuz added, on that occasion candidate of Correism.
This Sunday this political current thought that now it could succeed, after González obtained the best result of the movement in a first round without a belt as a candidate, by reaping 44 % of the valid votes, with which he stayed just 16,000 votes away from Noboa.
More than 13.7 million Ecuadorians were summoned this Sunday to the polls to decide whether they re-elected Noboa for a complete mandate (2025-2029) or if they returned to correism to power after eight years in the opposition, which would have turned González into the first woman in the history of Ecuador to win presidential elections.
The vote participation amounted to 83.76 % and the day was developed normally but under strong security measures when carried out under the “internal armed conflict” declared since the beginning of 2024 by Noboa to counteract the escalation of criminal violence that has placed the country at the head of Latin America in homicide index.
