The first electoral count gave Daniel Noboa an advantage with 57.04%.

With 8.99% of the ballots processed, President Daniel Noboa obtained a solid 57.04% of the valid votes. The candidate from the Citizen Revolution, Luisa González, reached 42.96%, according to official data from the National Electoral Council.

The total number of registered voters was 1,028,066, while absenteeism reached 191,032 voters. This reflects a participation rate of 84.26%, which demonstrates the public's interest in defining the country's direction at a key moment.

The valid votes represented 92.67%, with just 6.71% null votes and 0.62% blank votes. This high percentage of valid votes shows a clear decision by Ecuadorians in the face of the current political dilemma.

The initial trend reinforces the perception that Noboa has managed to connect with the electorate, especially with his focus on security, employment, and governance. His administration, although recent, has been seen as a pragmatic and efficient alternative to the socialist model.

If this trend continues, Daniel Noboa would consolidate his political leadership against González's Correa-style proposal. The public seems to lean toward a modern, responsible, and results-oriented administration, leaving behind past practices.
