The support of evangelical indigenous leaders and the indigenous movement of Guayas strengthened Daniel Noboa's presidential candidacy in the second electoral round. During an event held on April 8, Manuel Chugchilán signed a cooperation agreement on behalf of more than 2,500 indigenous churches.
Spokespersons for the Indigenous Movement of Guayas assured that this decision doesn't respond to partisan interests, but to a need to support someone who has shown openness and respect toward historically marginalized sectors. “President Noboa has reached where others have not wanted to go,” expressed a leader.
Vice-presidential candidate María José Pinto highlighted the value of the country's multiculturalism and committed to recovering bilingual intercultural education. “Ecuador's problems are solved in the territory, not from a desk in Quito,” she stated, inviting those present to vote for list 7.
