Ecuadorean President Daniel Noboa looks likely to win Sunday's presidential election, as voters rally behind his promises to fight crime, despite critiques from his opponents that he has not done enough and the possibility the vote could move to a run-off, APA reports citing Reuters.
His 15 opponents have said that more needs to be done to fight the drug trade-related crime that has rocked Ecuador in recent years, but some of their proffered solutions would require tricky legislative approval or constitutional changes. Noboa says he is already implementing other policy ideas, like increased security at borders and ports.
"Today Ecuador has changed and wants to keep changing, it wants to consolidate its triumph. We are not a promise anymore, we are a reality in this country, which has taken a decision," Noboa said at a closing campaign rally on Thursday in Quito. "This Sunday, reclaim your ability to dream."
