In Ecuador's closely contested presidential election, incumbent Daniel Noboa faced off against leftist Luisa Gonzalez. After winning the first round by a narrow margin, Noboa has emphasized policies focusing on economic growth and energy stability. Voter turnout is mandatory for most adults, and concerns over possible election fraud have prompted calls for vigilance from both candidates. With over 13 million eligible voters, the election outcome is critical for the country's political landscape, especially following Noboa’s caretaker role since 2023.
Noboa has predicted 4% economic growth in 2025 if his policies continue, pledging to prevent new energy cuts and boost private investment in the oil sector.
Both candidates have urged observers to be vigilant in light of high concerns regarding election fraud, emphasizing the need for transparency during the voting process.
