Background
Voters elected a new President and National Assembly.
Incumbent President Rafael Correa of the PAIS Alliance was not eligible for re-election, having served two terms. In the first round of the presidential elections, PAIS Alliance candidate Lenín Moreno received 39% of the vote. Although he was more than 10% ahead of his nearest rival, Guillermo Lasso of the Creating Opportunities party, Moreno was just short of the 40% threshold required to avoid a run-off.
As a result, a second round was held on 2 April.[2] In the second round Moreno was elected president with 51.16% of the vote.[3][4]
