Post-election Report: General elections in Ecuador

• Political Analisys

On Sunday, February 9, Ecuador held general elections to elect the president, vice-president and 151 members of the National Assembly for the 2025-2029 period. With a slim difference between the main candidates, a presidential run-off election was confirmed for April 13, in which the current president, Daniel Noboa, and Luisa Gonzalez, representative of Revolución Ciudadana, will face each other. 

Although the final results of the new National Assembly are not yet defined, the preliminary scenario anticipates a Legislative branch marked by polarization between the two main political forces. The current ruling party Acción Democrática Nacional (ADN in Spanish) is emerging as the first minority, closely followed by Revolución Ciudadana. Both parties will have to articulate strategic alliances with minority forces to promote their agendas and guarantee governability.
