The Spin

Right narrative

This election consolidates Ecuador as a democratic example in Latin America, and its results demonstrate overwhelming public support for Noboa's tough-on-crime agenda and economic modernization plans. It's clear that voters want a path of dialogue, progress, and stability instead of a return to leftist populism and polarization.

Left narrative

Since the right wing took over the country eight years ago, Ecuador has not had a free and fair election. This time is no different, as systematic fraud — including manipulation of voting records, military intimidation, and last-minute changes in polling locations — marred the runoff vote. It's no wonder that González obtained fewer votes now than in the first round.
