Ecuador's Vice-President, Veronica Abad, has publicly accused President Daniel Noboa of breaching democratic norms by using government resources to influence his reelection campaign, arguing it was unfair as he did not resign to run. Abad, who was his running mate in the past, expressed concerns about gender-based political violence in their deteriorated relationship. Despite her claims, she does not support accusations of electoral fraud. Noboa won the runoff race against Luisa Gonzalez after a tighter first round than anticipated, leading to calls for a recount from Gonzalez, whose supporters question the legitimacy of the election.
