Lasso rules out to be in 2025 general elections in Ecuador

Quito, Jun 12 (Prensa Latina) Ecuador's former President Guillermo Lasso (2021-2023) posted Wednesday on X to rule out his participation as a candidate in the 2025 general elections.

The former president confirmed that this “facet is over” and that he will not seek the presidency again.

“I have no plans to participate in elections in the future. Neither in 2025, nor in 2029 (…) I am living another chapter of my life, I will soon tell you the details”, he commented.

Lasso left office on November 23, 2023 with a 12 percent approval rating and with the legacy of the biggest wave of insecurity in history, an energy crisis and a multi-million dollar fiscal deficit.

The former head of State left office ahead of schedule, as in the midst of an impeachment process that could lead to his removal from office, he himself decreed the known “cross death”.

With this measure, he dissolved the legislature and brought forward the elections in which Daniel Noboa was elected.
