Arauz won 32.7% of the vote, short of the 40% needed to win the election outright (a winner also requires a 10% lead over the second-place candidate, which Arauz did achieve).
More than a week after that first round, it remains unclear which of the two candidates who most closely trailed Arauz will go head-to-head against him in the second round on April 11. Both candidates Guillermo Lasso and Yaku Pérez each won around 19% of the vote and await a recount to verify who will face Arauz.
[Editor’s note: The National Electoral Council of Ecuador ruled on February 20 that Arauz would face off against Lasso in the second round. Despite this, efforts to overturn the first round results continue. The Prosecutor’s office called for the seizure of “all digital content from the database that administers the electoral system” on February 21, sparking fears of an attempt to overturn the result.]
