An Ecuadorian judge annulled this Monday (23) the temporary suspension of vice-president Veronica Abad’s position.
The measure could hinder President Daniel Noboa’s plans to take leave to campaign for re-election.

Noboa is unlikely to take unpaid campaign leave before the Feb. 25 presidential contest if it allows Abad to briefly take charge of Ecuador.
