Quito, Feb 11 : Election officials in Ecuador have had to review more than 1,000 poll records with irregularities, delaying the announcement of a runner-up who will compete in an April 11 presidential run-off, according to officials.
The second place in the general elections which took place on Sunday is being disputed between indigenous activist Yaku Perez and former banker Guillermo Lasso, one of whom will go up against front-runner Andres Arauz in the April election, reports Xinhua news agency.
