With seven votes in favor, councilor Daniel Delgado was elected the new vice mayor of Loja, on the morning of this Wednesday, March 9.
The election took place after Patricia Picoita, who had been holding that position, became mayor following the death of Jorge Bailón last week.
“I hope to be the direct link with the mayor for the benefit of the people of Loja. I want to ask you, madam mayor, to return the category that the Cantonal Council should have, all the councillors, the respect and consideration, as a collegiate body you should have that link and above all have that right that you have been denied in the last two administrations, where the Cantonal Council becomes a very important entity for the work of the administration that you exercise it, “said Delgado.
The new deputy mayor came to occupy a position as mayor sponsored by the political movement Creating Opportunities (CREO).

After his inauguration, the lawyer Geronimo Ruiz was elected and sworn in as secretary general of the council.
One of the first actions taken by Mayor Patricia Picoita was to remove six advisers from former Mayor Jorge Bailón Abad.
Mayor Bailón was elected to that position three times: 2005-2009, 2009-2014 and 2019-2023. Last week, the Cantonal Council declared three days of mourning and hoisted the flags of the national flag and emblem of the province of Loja at half-staff. (I)
