The National Electoral Council (CNE) of Ecuador is currently in the final stage of counting votes for the runoff elections. The wait focuses on the arrival of eleven ballots from abroad that present inconsistencies. In this election day, President Daniel Noboa emerged victorious against the correísmo candidate Luisa.
According to statements from the president of the CNE, Diana Atamaint, these eleven ballots are fundamental to conclude the counting process and officially proclaim Daniel Noboa as the elected president. Despite the delays caused by the inconsistencies detected in these documents, it is expected that the discrepancies will be resolved soon, allowing the electoral process to be completed with transparency and clarity.
Amid the uncertainty generated by the inconsistencies in the ballots from abroad, the CNE remains committed to respecting the will of the people and the legality of the electoral process. Efforts are focused on ensuring that each vote is duly counted and that the final result accurately reflects the decision of the Ecuadorian citizens.
"Despite the setbacks, we are focused on rigorously concluding the counting process and ensuring transparency throughout," emphasized Diana Atamaint, highlighting the importance of successfully completing this crucial stage for Ecuadorian democracy. Once the remaining eleven ballots are received and verified, the next president of Ecuador will be officially proclaimed.
