Incumbent President of Ecuador Daniel Noboa narrowly defeated establishment socialist candidate Luisa González on Sunday in the first round of the nation’s 2025 presidential elections.
Both candidates, who faced each other in 2023, will once again compete in a runoff election scheduled for Sunday, April 13, as neither obtained the required votes to be elected in the first round.
Sunday saw over ten million Ecuadorians head to the polls and cast their votes to elect the president, vice president, and members of the National Assembly.
At press time, voter results published by Ecuador’s National Electoral Council (CNE) indicate that, with 92 percent of the vote counted, Noboa obtained 44.31 percent of the votes and González obtained 43.83 percent. While voting in Ecuador is compulsory, voter turnout was estimated at roughly 82.27 percent.
