Daniel Noboa, a conservative millionaire and heir to a fortune built on the banana trade, has been reelected as Ecuador's president for a second term. Despite his brief political career, Noboa has implemented controversial crimefighting strategies and sought a friendly relationship with the US under President Donald Trump. His efforts to reduce the homicide rate have shown some success, but the rate remains significantly higher than in previous years. Noboa's victory has been met with criticism and allegations of electoral fraud from his opponent, Luisa González, a mentee of former President Rafael Correa.
