**QUITO, Ecuador** – Daniel Noboa has been declared the winner of Ecuador’s presidential election, securing victory in a closely contested race against Luisa Gonzalez. Celebrations erupted among Noboa’s supporters following the announcement on Sunday. However, Gonzalez has refused to concede, calling for a full recount of the votes. The election saw a significant turnout, and while the final results are still being certified, Noboa’s lead appears insurmountable. Gonzalez’s campaign claims irregularities warrant a thorough review of the electoral process. The coming days will see further scrutiny of the vote count as the country awaits official confirmation of the results and the next steps in the transition of power.
