Después de un año muy difícil, este domingo 7 de febrero tendrá lugar las elecciones generales en Ecuador. En un contexto de alta fragmentación partidaria -tanto del oficialismo como de la oposición-, 16 listas presentan candidatos presidenciales.
Según los datos de las encuestas previas, el candidato apoyado por el ex Presidente Rafael Correa, Andrés Arauz (Unión por la Esperanza) aventajaría al empresario neoliberal Guillermo Lasso (Partido Creando Oportunidades), y más detrás le seguirían el dirigente indigenista Yaku Pérez (Movimiento de Unidad Plurinacional Pachakutik) con una agenda ambiental y social que recoge varias de las demandas de las Asambleas que tuvieron lugar en las movilizaciones de 2019. La candidata oficialista Ximena Peña (Alianza País) corre por fuera.
