Ecuador’s right-wing President Daniel Noboa has been re-elected in a second-round election run-off.
The National Electoral Council declared late on Sunday that the incumbent, who has promised to boost the flagging economy and continue a crackdown on cartel violence, had won by a wide margin.
With more than ninety percent of ballots counted, the thirty-seven-year-old Noboa was reported to have taken fifty-five-point eight percent of the vote. That gave him a twelve-point lead over left-wing opponent Luisa Gonzalez.
