Electoral silence due to runoff starts in Ecuador
Quito, Apr 9 (Prensa Latina) Ecuador will undergo a period of electoral silence as of Friday, prior to the presidential runoff, slated for Sunday, April 11.
The current stage comes after an electoral campaign carried out since March 16 until Thursday at 23:59 hours(local time) by the two rival presidential tickets: Andres Arauz-Carlos Rabascall (Union por la Esperanza progressive coalition) and Guillermo Lasso-Alfredo Borrero (Creo-Partido Social Cristiano center-right alliance).
Both presidential tickets had 24 days to stage rallies and hold vote-catching meetings, in order to ratify the support received in the first round of elections on February 7 and attract the vote of undecided people and those who would vote for one of the other 14 candidates who ran for the election.
