Elections in Ecuador with 91.1% of polling stations counted

With 91.1% of the ballots counted, the current president, Daniel Noboa, led with a 0.5% lead over his main competitor. As the votes continued to be counted, there was a technical tie. The country is in a moment of polarisation, where the second round will be contested between Noboa's liberal model and the leftist approach. According to data from the National Electoral Council, Daniel Noboa has 44.32% of the votes, while the progressive Luisa Gonzalez is in 2nd place with 43.83%. The second round will take place on Sunday, April 13, where it will be decided who will be the president for the next four years.
