“There were many irregularities and we still count,” Noboa said. “We are still checking in certain provinces where there were things that did not add up.”
But independent choice observers quickly returned back to seem to have no deviations with the voting vote.
The organization of the US states (OAS) sent a mission to observe the election on Sunday. He said that his data confirmed official results, within the mistake.

History of the head of the head
Noboa and Gonzalez are longtime opponents on the campaign track. They first went to head to head in 2023, after the then president Guillermo Lasso He referred to the never -used constitutional mechanism called “Muerte Cruzada” or “crossed death.”
That dissolved The National Assembly and ended up early in Lassa’s Presidency. Recording elections were invited to determine who would serve the rest of Lass’s term: a 18 -month period.
The son of a rich Banana Baron, Noboa, was a first -born prefabricated person until the dissolution of the legislative body.
Leading the newly founded political coalition of the right center, Noboa entered the crowded race to replace Lassa as a dark horse-probably the appearance. At that time, the leader was Gonzalez, the protégé of former President Rafael Corre, a division of a character in Ecuadorian politics.
Correa faced corruption charges and was sentenced to eight years in prison. He currently lives in exile in Belgium.
The 2023 race ended with Gonzalez and Nobo who competed with each other on trips, which Noboa eventually won. Received 52 percent of Gonzalez’s 48 vote.
But the two of them remained fierce critics to each other, which led to Sunday’s rematch In the 2025 General Election. If he is successful in his offer for a re -choice, Noboa would win his first full term of four years.
In an interview with Radio Center on Tuesday, Noboa took over apples at Gonzalez’s Citizen Revolution, accusing their members of letting the criminals from Ecuador’s prison to influence the vote.
In the meantime, he praised his voters to go to the polls, despite what he described as “threats” against them.
“I am proud of the way the vast majority of Ecuadorians behave in these elections. Despite thousands of threats, they decided to vote for progress, “he said.
While Noboa added that he had evidence for his allegations, none were foreseen.
Gonzalez, meanwhile, has blown Nobo’s implication that her voices have received crime.
“Voters [Citizen Revolution] They are neither narks nor criminals, ” published On social media.
She emphasized the fact that Noboa failed to overthrow the growing crime rates in Ecuador, despite heavy tactics that critics said they had led to that Human rights abuse.
Gonzalez also exploded Nobo for the campaign irregularities: the president’s decision to campaign for a re -choice during the delegation temporary vice president He was recently declared unconstitutional.
Even former President Corre has been involved in social media. “What a bad losers!” Bark said from Nobo and his allies.
