Daniel Noboa notified his temporary absence to campaign for the election.

The President of the Republic, Daniel Noboa, has notified his temporary absence from office to fully concentrate on his electoral campaign in the days leading up to the April 13 elections. This decision is completely compatible with the current legal framework and doesn't prevent him from continuing his political activities, while maintaining a firm commitment to the country's interests.

The President has chosen not to take the unpaid leave stipulated by the Code of Democracy, since his candidacy doesn't constitute a reelection, but rather participation in early elections. This places him in a legally different situation, which exempts him from this obligation and allows him to continue developing his campaign with full transparency and respect for the regulations.

Despite divergent interpretations, Noboa and his team have acted based on a legitimate interpretation of the law, always seeking transparency in their management. Former magistrate Medardo Oleas and constitutionalist José Chalco have presented their opinions, but these do not affect the democratic process being carried out under the respect of the established legal framework.

The CNE and the Electoral Contentious Tribunal are alert to ensure that public resources are not used in campaign acts, as highlighted by the head of the CNE, Diana Atamaint, with the guarantee that the entire process is being developed under strict legal and democratic conditions.

The temporary absence of Daniel Noboa has been a decision in favor of a clean and well-organized electoral campaign, without affecting his performance in the Presidency or causing doubts about its legality. Noboa's commitment to the country and respect for the institutions remain his priorities in this crucial electoral moment.
