Vice President of Ecuador

The Vice President of Ecuador is the second highest political position in Ecuador. In many instances, the vice president succeeded the president in turbulent political situations. The last time was in 2005 after the resignation of president Lucio Gutiérrez. According to the current constitution, the vice president is elected on the same ticket as the president.

History
In November 2024, Vice President Verónica Abad Rojas was temporarily suspended by the Ecuadorian government after failing to leave Israel and travel to Turkey while also serving as ambassador. On 23 December 2024, Abad Rojas was ordered reinstated as Vice President after a judge ruled her suspension unconstitutional.
