# 2025 Ecuadorian general election

General elections were held in Ecuador on 9 February 2025. Incumbent president, right-winger Daniel Noboa is seeking re-election after his 2023 victory. He will face leftist candidate Luisa González in the runoff, as no candidate secured a majority in the first round. The elections also include the selection of members for the National Assembly, Assemblies of the 21 Provinces of Ecuador and representatives for the Andean Parliament which will serve a full four-year term. The National Electoral Council (CNE) released the provisional scrutiny on 18 February, with all votes counted. Final results will be announced by 22 March, after the deadline for candidate appeals. The presidential runoff will be held on 13 April 2025.

## Background

The 2025 election follows an early election held in 2023 after former President Guillermo Lasso invoked the 'muerte cruzada', just days before a congressional impeachment vote. That constitutional mechanism dissolved the National Assembly and triggered a snap election. In that election, Daniel Noboa was elected to complete Lasso’s unfinished term, which runs until May 2025.
The 2025 election sees Ecuador returning to its regular electoral schedule and will determine the president and vice president for a full four-year term and members of the National Assembly.

## Electoral system

The president is elected using a modified two-round system, with a candidate required to get over 50% of the vote, or get over 40% of the vote and be 10 points ahead of their nearest rival, to be elected in the first round. The president is limited to two consecutive four-year terms. However, Noboa is currently serving the remaining term of Guillermo Lasso, whose invoking of muerte cruzada called for the 2023 snap general elections and his early conclusion of his presidency.
Members of the National Assembly are elected by three methods. Fifteen are elected by closed list proportional representation in a nationwide constituency. Six are elected by overseas voters (two each from Canada/United States, Latin America and Asia/Europe/Oceania). The remaining 116 members are elected from multi-member constituencies by closed list proportional representation, with all seats allocated using the Webster method. Members of the National Assembly are limited to two four-year terms, regardless if they are consecutive or not. There are gender quotas for the party lists, meaning there is alternation between men and women. There are no quotas for minority representation.

## Conduct

A three-day ban on alcohol was imposed beginning on 7 February, with 20 people subsequently being arrested for violating it. On election day, the government deployed armoured vehicles and soldiers carrying machine guns to secure polling booths while the country's land borders were closed. In Guayaquil, one person died inside a voting centre after suffering a heart attack before he could vote.
Daniel Noboa's behaviour during the official campaign period has been widely regarded as reckless conduct, raising serious questions about the legitimacy of his candidacy, which some even claim may be unconstitutional. He faces accusations of misusing public funds, engaging in Lawfare against his detractors and exploiting various government institutions for populist purposes to bolster his campaign.
There has been significant criticism regarding his overwhelming and aggressive social media advertising, which allegedly utilized bots and fake accounts funded by public resources. One of the most notable and unprecedented violations of Constitutional principles was Noboa's refusal to relinquish his office during the official electoral period, which was intended for his vice president, Verónica Abad Rojas. In practice, he removed Abad from her position and enacted an unconstitutional decree that temporarily appointed his private secretary, Cynthia Gellibert [es], as vice president.
Noboa went as far as to send peculiar memorandums to Congress stating, "Today, I will be President of Ecuador until 5 p.m. and will resume office at 11:59 p.m." while he attended political rallies. On other occasions, he had his secretary inform Congress that she was temporarily assuming the presidency.
Another significant concern is the inaction or apparent acquiescence of the CNE, the Constitutional Tribunal (Corte Constitutional del Ecuador [es]) and the Electoral Disputes Court (TCE) regarding blatant violations of the electoral law. During the presidential dispute, Noboa continued his tactics without judicial obstruction. However, on 19 February, the TCE fined Abad $9,400 for 'precocious political proselytism' as a mayoral candidate in Cuenca in 2023. Many legal experts suggest that if a genuine formal judgment is rendered about these campaign irregularities, Luisa Gonzalez could potentially be declared the winner in the first round, having secured over 40% of the total vote, with more than 10% separating her from the next highest candidate, Leonidas Iza from the Pachakutik party.

## Results

Preliminary results in the first round showed no candidate in the presidential election had won an outright majority. Daniel Noboa received 44.17% of the vote, followed by Luisa González at 43.97%. Turnout was estimated at around 82%.
After the results, ADN cancelled a planned party celebration in a hotel in northern Quito, and Noboa did not make public declarations. The next day, he posted a written statement on Twitter thanking his voters. González, in a party meeting in Quito, said she would have dialogues with the other candidates. In the context of historically unprecedented polarization in the National Assembly between left- and right-wing political factions, the nine elected Pachakutik deputies play a crucial role. The Citizen's Movement can only achieve an absolute majority of 76 seats by forming a formal alliance with the Pachakutik Party. On the other hand, Noboa can secure a majority if he obtains support from at least one dissident deputy from the radical opposition. On 12 February, Leonidas Iza categorically rejected any negotiations with Noboa's party, the ADN. He announced that several meetings would take place within CONAIE (Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador) and its political arm, the Pachakutik Party, to determine their stance on a potential alliance with the Citizens’ Revolution for the second presidential round and beyond. On 13 February, Diego Borja, the vice-presidential candidate for Citizens Revolution, expressed a desire to initiate a joint program with Pachakutik. The primary objective is to establish a National Constituent Assembly that includes the proposal to redefine Ecuador as a Plurinational State, akin to Bolivia. At 5 p.m. on election day, Diego Tello Flores, a senior high-ranking official and a candidate for the position of judge, announced the results of a post-electoral voter poll. He claimed to be the only one of the four pollsters authorized by his former employer, the CNE, to conduct this poll. According to his findings, Daniel Noboa was leading Luisa González by nearly 8 points, securing 50.12% of the votes and winning the election in the first round. This announcement led to significant controversy, with officials from the Citizen Revolution Movement accusing him of fraud, as such polls typically have a minimal margin of error.
Tello reiterated in a live interview on Teleamazon that he had been compensated by the firm Estrategas and acted independently from the government. However, Estrategas quickly released a statement denying the company had paid him and that it had any participation in that particular poll.
In the aftermath of the Tello Flores poll, Rafael Correa and Andrés Arauz expressed concerns about a potential coup attempt by Noboa who appeared to be receiving behind-the-scenes support from like-minded figures within the CNE, TCE, and CC, as well as from the police, military, and media.
On 11 February, in his first interview after the elections, Noboa claimed he had evidence of fraud, which he alleged was confirmed by an Organization of American States report. However, officials from the OAS dismissed this claim, clarifying that no abnormalities had been detected at that time.
Noboa also alleged that armed groups associated with drug trafficking were intentionally released from prisons to intimidate voters into supporting the Citizens' Revolution. This claim was dismissed by National Assembly President Viviana Veloz, as well as by Luisa Gonzalez and Rafael Correa. On 14 February, Correa shared a video on his X account regarding the October 2023 seizure of 610 kilograms of cocaine in Turkey, which had been concealed inside 'Bonita Banana' fruit boxes from an export business owned by Noboa's family. He also emphasized that January 2025 set a new record for criminal activity, surpassing all previous highs. On 17 February, Andrés Arauz filed a formal demand with the Electoral Disputes Tribunal (TCE; Tribunal Contencioso Electoral [es]) to contest the results of 700 polling station minutes from Esmeraldas Province, as well as hundreds from Sucumbíos Province, saying that it would be sufficient to secure the election of two National Deputies, increasing the number of NA seats for the Citizens Revolution party from 67 to a total of 69. The CNE must resolve all appeals and announce the final results of the 9 February elections by 22 March 2025. On 19 February, Leonidas Iza announced the convocation of an Expanded Grand Council for 7 March 2025, where indigenous peoples will make the final decision on currently debated proposals for a programmatic political alliance with the Citizens' Revolution Movement.
On 24 February 2025, the Plenary of the CNE approved the numerical results of the 2025 general elections. After approval, three days have been given for political organizations to file appeals with the CNE or the TCE if they consider it necessary.
