Ecuador’s incumbent President Daniel Noboa has won the presidential election after more than 90% of the ballots were processed, said Diana Atamaint, head of the National Electoral Council.
“Once more than 90% of the protocols have been processed nationwide, the results of the second round of the presidential elections have shown an irreversible trend. The Electoral Authority considers that the winning binomial is the list of the National Democratic Action party, which includes Daniel Noboa Asín and Maria José Pinto,” Atamaint said during a press conference broadcast on YouTube by the Electoral Council.
According to the CEC broadcast, Noboa is winning with 55.93%, while his rival, left-wing candidate Luisa González, has 44.07%. The new president will take office on May 24 for a four-year term.
