The former president made a statement through his social network X on the defeat of his candidate Luisa Gonzalez in this Sunday’s general elections, when she obtained 47.79 percent against 52.21 percent of the valid votes obtained by Noboa.

Lenin Moreno’s betrayal continues to wreak havoc, but no one should doubt that, in the end, Ecuador will return to the path of development and Latin American integration, Correa assured.

Likewise, Correa denounced that the assassination of the Ecuadorian presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio influenced the results of the elections, since the incident prevented the victory of the Citizen Revolution (CR), he said.

This Sunday, with more than 90 percent of the tallies counted by the National Electoral Council (CNE), the candidate of the National Democratic Action (ADN) alliance, and son of one of the richest businessmen in the nation, became the youngest elected president of Ecuador.

The triumph shocked the sectors that placed in the CR, led by Correa, the hope of resuming a progressive course for the nation, which in addition to the wave of violence, suffers from problems in the economy.

However, Gonzalez herself offered the elected president that he could count on the CR to rebuild the country, although she emphasized that her votes in the National Assembly would not accept proposals such as privatization of health or education.
