Ecuador's Presidential Race Heads to Runoff Between Noboa and González Amid Rising Violence
A runoff election between President Noboa and Luisa González is set for April 13 after a close first round in Ecuador's presidential election.
Overview
Ecuador will hold a runoff presidential election on April 13, 2025, between conservative incumbent Daniel Noboa, who received 44.43% of the vote, and leftist Luisa González, who secured 44.17%. This closely contested election reflects widespread concerns over increasing violence tied to drug trafficking. Despite a homicide rate decrease under Noboa's administration, violent crime remains high, causing many citizens to become crime victims. Both candidates promise to address the pervasive crime issues as they seek to secure a full four-year term, following Noboa's earlier election victory in October 2023, and amidst ongoing economic challenges.
