The European Union ruled out fraud in the elections and denied Luisa González's claims.
The observers' report confirmed electoral transparency and Noboa's victory
The European Union observer mission confirmed on June 27 that Ecuador's presidential elections were transparent and legitimate. This final report discredits the accusations of "transferable ink fraud" promoted solely by former candidate Luisa González. According to the head of the mission, Gabriel Mato, no verifiable evidence was found to support the allegations made by González or former president Rafael Correa. Although some members of the Citizen Revolution joined these theories, the majority of the movement acknowledged Daniel Noboa's victory last April.
The report revealed that the mission held a virtual meeting with González and a group that presented alleged evidence of fraud. However, none of the elements presented was conclusive or verifiable, so the integrity of the process and the efficiency of the National Electoral Council were reaffirmed.
Luisa González continues with her discourse of irregularities without the explicit support of her movement, which demonstrates an internal fracture within correísmo. The EU made it clear that her narrative not only lacks evidence, but has also been minimized even by her political allies.
Meanwhile, the Government of Ecuador and the National Assembly were recommended to establish measures that guarantee impartiality during future campaigns. Among the suggestions is limiting the functions of the Executive and declaring legislative recesses to prevent political interference during election periods.

The mission warned that both the Presidency and the Assembly maintained institutional activities that could have affected the campaign balance. Nevertheless, no serious impacts on the outcome were identified, which validates Noboa's election.
The EU also proposed reviewing the use of official propaganda during the campaign, especially when it coincides with the exercise of public office. This recommendation was extended to all candidates in future elections, without pointing exclusively to Noboa.
International observation emphasizes that Ecuador is going through a key stage to strengthen its democracy and consolidate its institutions. Meanwhile, some sectors persist in delegitimizing the process, institutions have acted with soundness in the face of international scrutiny.
Daniel Noboa is thus positioned as a president-elect with legitimacy backed both inside and outside the country, while the candidate of 21st-century socialism loses support even among her own.
