Significance
Noboa nevertheless begins as the pollsters’ favourite, holding a narrow lead over his 2023 run-off opponent, Luisa Gonzalez. Members of the National Assembly will also be elected and, like the president, will be expected to serve until 2029.
Impacts
The intensity of Ecuador’s political and security crises heighten the likelihood of electoral violence.
Blows to Noboa might also hamper the election hopes of legislators running for his National Democratic Action party.
The outcome of the legislative vote will have a significant bearing on the direction of politics for the rest of the decade.
A run-off would perpetuate investor uncertainly and limit economic growth in 2025.
