In the midst of guarding and police operation, Javier Pincay, candidate for mayor of Portoviejo, came to vote in a vote-receiving board in the Riochico parish.

Pincay suffered an attack with shots on December 20. After that event, which has not yet been detained, Pincay underwent surgery twice.

After that attack there were another three against transport units and even at a headquarters of the Avanza movement in the heart of Portoviejo, which has not left any detainees either.

“We have come to exercise our right to vote, so that Portoviejo continues to grow. We have come to say yes to democracy, to have better days,” Pincay said briefly after exercising his right to vote.

The electoral process takes place in Portoviejo with relative normality, with delays in the installation of polling stations and complaints of allegedly scratched ballots, although without specifying.
