The president of Ecuador, Daniel Noboawas reelected with 55.62% of the votes, according to the results announced by the electoral authority, which on Friday morning ended the scrutiny process.
Noboa won the election last weekend for 11.24 points on the leftist Luisa Gonzálezwhich obtained 44.38% of the votes and ignored their defeat.
“The minutes of the 24 provinces have been processed to 100%,” said the CNE this Friday in the Social Network X. More than 13.7 million Ecuadorians voted in this ballot, after an adjusted first round in February that threw a technical tie between both candidates.
The Electoral Observation Missions of the European Union, the Organization of American States and the National Electoral Council (CNE) of Ecuador ruled out the complaints of opposition fraud, which announced that it will request a count of votes.
The leftist governments of Colombia and Mexico have refrained from recognizing Noboa’s triumph after González’s accusations, a political heiress of the former socialist president Rafael Correa (2007-2017).
But other leaders such as the United States, Donald Trumpand Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da SilvaThey congratulated the president for his triumph.
In power since November 2023, Noboa will expand its mandate until 2029 with the challenge of facing the drug trafficking violence in a country in an economic recession and a deep polarization.
