Ecuador votes in high-stakes presidential runoff election 2025
Ecuadorians are casting their votes in a closely watched presidential runoff between President Daniel Noboa and leftist challenger Luisa Gonzalez. Noboa, who narrowly led the first round by just 16,000 votes, seeks a full term amid rising drug violence and economic challenges. Both candidates have pledged to restore safety and stabilize Ecuador's struggling economy.
