On April 13, Daniel Noboa won the second round of the presidential elections in Ecuador, winning 55.65 % of the votes against 44.35 % for the Correa candidate, Luisa González.

With this victory, Noboa faces several internal challenges, not least of which is the need to consolidate his political power.

Analysts point out that to achieve this, the president “must articulate parliamentary agreements, avoid political isolation, and maintain a coherent reform agenda that responds to the country’s urgent needs and sets the tone for his second term in office.”

Reelection represents more than a victory over the opposition: “It is a new political cycle with clear opportunities but latent risks. His legitimacy, although solid for the moment, could quickly erode if he does not respond effectively, with the support of the Assembly, to urgent issues such as security, employment, and the fiscal crisis. The key will be to consolidate effective governance and transform his movement into a structured political force.”

Noboa’s agenda, who will face a fragmented Assembly with no majorities starting May 14, emphasizes the need to establish pacts and alliances with actors such as Pachakutik and the PSC “to achieve the minimum 76 votes necessary to pass bills.” He will need to demonstrate a strong negotiating capacity and the ability to “build bridges beyond ideological differences, which will be essential for advancing his agenda.”

A strategic management vision to respond to the country’s structural demands, with proposals for both social and parliamentary reforms, will be key in Daniel Noboa’s new presidential term.

In a surprising victory in the presidential elections held this Sunday, millionaire businessman Daniel Noboa became the youngest president in the history of Ecuador at 35 years old. Ecuador, a country affected by drug trafficking violence, saw Noboa win the runoff with 52 % support, defeating Luisa González, who obtained 48 % of the votes and was supported by former socialist president Rafael Correa (2007-2017). ).

Noboa’s victory was greeted with enthusiasm by Ecuadorians, who celebrated in the streets of Quito with fireworks and car horns. This election represents one of the biggest setbacks for the Correísta movement, which has lost for the second consecutive time in a presidential election after years of popularity.

“Tomorrow we begin to work for this new Ecuador, to rebuild a country that has been seriously hit by violence, corruption and hatred,” declared the president-elect from his residence in Olón, located in the southwest of the country.

Despite being a newcomer to politics until a few months ago, Noboa promised to strive to “restore peace” to the country.

Luisa González accepted his defeat and congratulated the new president, who won the support of right-wing forces, despite defining himself as center-left.

Although election day passed without serious incidents, both Noboa and González voted wearing bulletproof vests and were surrounded by armed guards. The main concern of both candidates and the population in general is to end the growing violence in Ecuador, a country of 16.9 million inhabitants.

In recent years, Ecuador has become a center of operations for drug cartels with international connections, resulting in a reign of terror and thousands of fatalities.

The National Electoral Council (CNE) confirmed Noboa’s victory and reported a participation of 82.33 % of the 13.4 million Ecuadorians called to vote in this mandatory election.

To guarantee security, approximately 100,000 military and police were deployed throughout the country during the electoral process.

Correista Luisa González, from Revolución Ciudadana, and businessman Daniel Noboa, representative of National Democratic Action (ADN), both candidates for the Presidency of Ecuador, faced each other this Sunday in a debate in which they promised to toughen the measures to combat the growing insecurity in the country.

Thus, Gónzalez has proposed militarizing prisons, customs, ports and airports, a measure that, he believes, will serve to fight against drug traffickers and that will also have the help of other countries.

“The first thing is for a government that let organized crime to infiltrate the country to leave,” the Correista candidate emphasized, according to the newspaper Primicias.

Furthermore, these controls will be linked to the generation of employment and the “recovery” of public spaces as a way to reduce common crime.

In that sense, Noboa has also guaranteed cooperation with foreign governments, such as the Israeli, the strengthening of border controls, creating citizen surveillance units in the neighborhoods or the establishment of prison barges to isolate prisoners.

On the other hand, both candidates have promised more social investments, especially in health and education.

The electoral campaigns for the second round, which will be held on October 15, have been marked mainly by the growing insecurity in the country, which resulted in the murder of candidate Fernando Villavicencio, of the Construye Movement Party, at the end of a rally.

In the first round of the elections, held on August 20, the candidate of the Citizen Revolution movement (left) of former president Rafael Correa achieved 33 % of the votes, followed by the National Democratic Action alliance (right) of Noboa, which came close to almost 23 % of support.

The president of the Ecuadorian National Electoral Council, Diana Atamaint, has indicated in a press conference that these data “mark a trend to ensure” a second round that will take place on October 15.

“I want to congratulate the democratic attitude of the candidates by recognizing the results, which are nothing more and nothing less than the reflection of the popular will expressed at the polls. I reiterate my congratulations to the Ecuadorian people for their civic commitment and for their participation in this day historical democracy that demonstrates the love for the homeland and the deep desire to have a country without violence, with inclusion, more solidarity,” he declared.

For his part, González, from the main opposition party of the government of acting president Guillermo Lasso, has celebrated his pass to the second round and has called for unity to “have hope and dignity” and avoid having “a Lasso 2.0.”

“It is the first time in the history of Ecuador that a woman gets such a high percentage in the first round to be president,” he stressed, while pointing out that all Ecuadorians deserve decent employment or access to health or education. Meanwhile, Noboa has assured that starting this Monday he will work to reach the Presidency: “We have a project and if someone wants to join, with great pleasure.”

Ecuadorians have gone to the polls this Sunday in early elections in which they have chosen the person who will replace Guillermo Lasso, who is not running for re-election, with the uncertainty of violence in the country, which has fully affected the presidential campaign.
