International Elections

CARICOM leaders announced Wednesday that Henry would remain de facto prime minister of Haiti until after elections held in August, 2025.

Ecuador’s president Daniel Noboa is facing a series of challenges, including an ongoing internal security crisis, questions around his economic reform plans, and concerns over new military cooperation with the US.

For years, Ecuador was hailed as an “island of peace”, even as a security success story. So how did it spiral into chaos so rapidly?

Miami Herald: For months now, there have been news reports that the Biden administration has been trying to prevent the war in Gaza from expanding into a wider war in the region.

Daniel Noboa was finally inaugurated on November 23 in front of Ecuador’s legislature, the National Assembly. In his speech, the new president emphasized youth and pragmatism, and claimed his priorities would be security and employment.

On October 15, Ecuadorians returned to the ballot box to elect a new president.

With the runoff of the presidential election just a few days away, recent polls indicate that, as in the first round, the second presidential debate will likely have a strong influence on the final outcome.

Common Dreams: Ecuador’s presidential candidates represent opposing sides of the policy choices, goals, values, and interests that brought about the sharply contrasting results of the two preceding episodes.

Now that the dust has settled from the first round of elections, all eyes are on the upcoming runoff between conservative candidate Daniel Noboa and correísta candidate Luisa González.

With 100 percent of the votes counted in Ecuador’s presidential elections, the results are both surprising and in line with anticipated outcomes.
