VOICED : Comienza la carrera en Ecuador para elegir al sucesor de Correa

Ecuador has commenced its electoral campaign for the presidential elections scheduled for February 19. Eight candidates are vying to succeed Rafael Correa, who chose not to run for a fourth term. Lenín Moreno, the vice president, is the frontrunner representing the ruling party, Alianza País, with significant voter support. The divided opposition aims to capitalize on what is expected to be a closely contested election, potentially shifting Ecuador's political landscape to the right, similar to trends in the region. Key opposition figures include right-wing ex-banker Guillermo Lazo and left-wing ex-legislator Cintia Viteri. Over 12 million Ecuadorians will vote for various positions and decide on a referendum regarding public employees' offshore assets.
