Ecuador presidential candidate Luisa González refused to accept the results of her defeat to Daniel Noboa in the second round of presidential elections, stating that “Ecuador lives a more grotesque dictatorship and fraud in his history.”
In his first statement after the disclosure of the results, which gave him 44.08% of the valid votes, against and 89.59% of the voting count, González announced that he would request the reopening of the ballot box and the recount of the votes.
“I denounce before my people, the media and the world that Ecuador lives a dictatorship and the most grotesque electoral fraud in the history of the Republic of Ecuador,” said González, without presenting evidence that supported his statement.
The candidate stated that “the citizen revolution always recognized defeat when research and accompaniment data showed this.”
“But today we do not recognize the results,” he emphasized.
