The leftist candidate Andrés Arauz took the lead in the first round of
the presidential elections in Ecuador. Arauz won 31.5 per cent of the
vote, putting him about 11 percentage points clear of his nearest
rivals. It was unclear who Arauz would face in the run-off. Indigenous
leader Yaku Pérez and Guillermo Lasso, a wealthy ex-banker, were in a
technical tie for second place, with Perez on 20.04 per cent to Lasso’s
19.97 per cent. The second run-off round will be in April but if Arauz
runs against the pro-business Lasso, he is likely to win; it’s less sure
against Perez.
