Ecuadorians have declared themselves at the polls. The new president is elected, according to the preliminary results of the State Electoral Council, and the challenge he faces is enormous, with only a year and a half to implement his government plan, apart from the fact that he will seek re-election in 2025.

It was announced that the government’s term would be short. There is no time for long celebrations or post-election rest. Daniel Noboa has to form his cabinet, although he has already named some names. Another task will be the transition with the regime of Guillermo Lasso.

The virtual president-elect’s plan includes a public consultation during his first 90 days in office to address security, institutional, terrorism, economic and health issues.

This, plus his aspiration for re-election, confirms that the election campaign will be part of the period left to complete the campaign of Guillermo Lasso, who pre-empted the elections by the decree of crucified death of May 17 last year.

When is the trend considered irreversible in the 2023 presidential election?

Political parties and movements in the country have recognized the interest that 2025 arouses in them.

That being so, it is a good time to warn that the priority must be Ecuador, not party favors. Every action, both of the elected president and of other political actors, will be observed by citizens who are not indifferent and are looking for change.

The truce that the mayor of Guayaquil, Aquiles Alvarez, talked about must happen, but it cannot just come, as he has already said from this podium. It is essential that Ecuadorians committed to the country in different sectors: trade unions, academia, civil society and politics join in pushing Ecuador in the direction of progress.

Daniel Noboa will assume the presidency in December and everyone should care that he does well because his success in government matters is the success of Ecuador. The most important hour of this historical moment has come, the one to unite in attacking the problems that afflict us. (OR)
