Daniel Noboa becomes Ecuador’s youngest president

Noboa received 52. 3% of the votes and won the election on Sunday. He had more votes than Luisa González, who got 47. 7%. She admitted losing and praised her opponent.

The person in question is a 35-year-old member of the National Democratic Action party. He is the son of Álvaro Noboa, who has tried and failed to become president five times.

MrNoboa will be in office for only 17 months.

He will only be in charge until May 2025 because the current election happened earlier than expected. This happened because the previous president, Guillermo Lasso, dissolved the parliament during an impeachment trial.

If he wants to, he can run for president again in 2025-29.

In Ecuador, they are selecting a president while there is a lot of violence happening.

After winning the second round of voting, Mr. Noboa told his supporters that they will begin working for a new Ecuador. They will work on rebuilding a country that has been severely damaged by violence, corruption, and hatred.

In the past few years, Ecuador has experienced more gang violence. During the presidential campaign, candidate Fernando Villavicencio was killed, which caused a lot of problems. As a journalist, he worked hard to fight against corruption.

Crime has increased a lot in Ecuador, and it has also become a place where drug gangs gather. This is because it is in between Colombia and Peru, which are the top two countries that make cocaine.

MrNoboa wants to put the most dangerous criminals of Ecuador on ships outside of Ecuador’s coast. This is to stop the criminal gangs in prisons from fighting and killing each other.

He also wants to make Ecuador’s borders and ports safer by using scanners to stop drug trafficking. This will help intercept more shipments of cocaine.

He has also tried to attract voters by making a promise to increase job opportunities.
