STORYLINE:
Ecuador’s President Daniel Noboa attended a rally in Pelileo on Wednesday as he seeks reelection for a four-year term.
Noboa and his opponent Luisa Gonzalez will face each other in the second round of elections on April 13.
In Pelileo, Noboa addressed supporters called on by the Tungurahua water administration board in the area.
Extremely low water reserves in Ecuador have already proven costly for Noboa’s administration.
In 2024, the country experienced nationwide blackouts and the government forced to ration the energy supplied by hydroelectric plants over several months of a prolonged drought.
During Wednesday’s rally, Noboa vowed to the community representatives to maintain a constant supply of water for the farmers in the area.
Gonzalez represents the opposition movement Citizen Revolution, led by former President Rafael Correa (2007-2017), and could return to power that political force that governed for a decade.
Noboa is a young businessman, son of a billionaire who seeks reelection for a four-year term.
He is currently serving a transition period to complete that of his predecessor, Guillermo Lasso, who dissolved the Assembly and anticipated the end of his term.
Both were finalists with a narrow margin of error in the first electoral round. Noboa obtained 44.17% of the vote and Gonzalez obtained 44%.
