Ecuador has re-elected Daniel Noboa as president, a conservative millionaire known for his controversial approach to tackling gang crime. His opponent, leftist lawyer Luisa Gonzalez, has rejected the result and plans to seek a recount due to alleged electoral fraud. With over 90% of the ballots counted, Noboa received 55.8% of the vote, while Gonzalez earned 44%. The win gives Noboa four years to fulfill his promises, including his heavy-handed crimefighting strategies. However, there have been reports of human rights violations, including extrajudicial killings and arbitrary arrests, under his watch.
