Leftist leads Ecuador presidential poll count amid spike in violence

Left-winger Luisa Gonzalez is leading in Ecuador’s presidential election overshadowed by the assassination of one of the candidates.

With nearly 80% of the votes counted, electoral officials say she has 33%, while her closest rival Daniel Noboa, a businessman, is on 24%.

The top two candidates will now go into a run-off on 15 October.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The snap election was called after President Guillermo Lasso - a conservative former banker - dissolved parliament to avoid impeachment.

Ms Gonzalez, a 45-year-old protégé of leftist ex-President Rafael Correa, was seen as the firm favourite of the eight politicians vying for the presidency.

But the assassination of candidate Fernando Villavicencio on 9 August in the capital, Quito, made the election difficult to predict.

Ms Gonzalez’s promises of a return of generous social programmes appeal to Ecuadoreans hit hard by an economic crisis.

Mr Correa still looms large in the country: he cut poverty while in power, but was then mired in corruption scandals and is now in exile in Belgium.

Mr Villavicencio, 59, was an outspoken journalist who had uncovered corruption and denounced links between organised crime and officials.
