Ecuador re-elects President Daniel Noboa amid nationwide unease over crime
|
[FoxNews] Noboa carrying nearly 56% of the vote with over 90% of ballots counted
Daniel Noboa, the tough-on-crime firebrand president of Ecuador, was re-elected in Sunday's runoff.
Noboa, running under the right-wing National Democratic Action party label, handily defeated Luisa González of the leftist Citizen Revolution Movement – the party of influential former President Rafael Correa.
According to the National Electoral Council, Noboa received about 55.8% of the vote to González's 44%.
Over 90% of ballots have been tabulated, according to The Associated Press. Over 13 million people were eligible to vote – and in Ecuador, voting is compulsory.
A Miami-born heir to a large banana trade fortune, the largely politically-inexperienced Noboa emerged as the surprise winner of a 16-month presidency following a 2023 snap election to succeed former President Guillermo Lasso.
