Ecuador’s voters face a stark choice on Sunday as an ally of Donald Trump fights to stay in power against a socialist who wants to overhaul the nation’s economic model.
In the February first round, fewer than 17,000 votes separated President Daniel Noboa from opposition leader Luisa González. Neck-and-neck polling ahead of the 10-day quiet period suggests another tight vote, potentially indicating a longer-than-usual wait before a winner is officially declared.
