| 2006-11-28 |
| QUITO, Ecuador - Ecuadorean leftist Rafael Correa was headed on Monday for almost certain victory over banana tycoon Alvaro Noboa after SundayÂ’s presidential runoff election, according to official results. The following are results with 86.05 percent of ballot boxes counted: Rafael Correa - 68.9 percent Alvaro Noboa- 31.1 percent The results do not necessarily reflect a national trend as ballot-box counts are first received from smaller provinces before the more populated areas. But the results, which are expected to be fully tallied by Tuesday, mirrored exit polls. |
