QUITO: Ecuadorans are set to vote for a new president on Sunday in the midst of a bloody drug war and a rash of political assassinations that cut short the bid of a popular candidate.
The fighting has seen at least 460 inmates massacred in prison since February 2021 – many beheaded or burned alive in mass riots. In August, the violence claimed the life of anti-graft and anti-cartel journalist and presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio, mowed down in a barrage of submachine gun fire after a campaign speech.A state of emergency was declared after Villavicencio’s assassination, and Noboa and Gonzalez both campaigned with heavy security details.
