In August 1996 Alvaro Noboa was appointed president of Ecuador's monetary board. While running this institution Alvaro Noboa managed to raise the international monetary reserves of Ecuador from $ 787 million to $ 2.0 billion in six months and to lower interest rates by 12 percentage points. Since then, the monetary reserves of Ecuador, despite the country adopting the US dollar as its currency, have not reached the peak that Alvaro Noboa achieved.

In 1998, Alvaro Noboa became the outside runner in the presidential elections. He achieved a technical draw with the man who then became President of Ecuador. Alvaro's popularity was left unscathed, and on 20 September 2002 all polling companies with the exception of one predicted that Alvaro Noboa would have become President of Ecuador if the elections had been held on that day. Today, polls show that Alvaro Noboa remains the number one choice of the Ecuadorian citizen to become the next President of Ecuador.

In 2002, Alvaro Noboa inspired and guided the foundation of the PRIAN political Party. The Party was an immediate success after it was established and gained ten seats in Congress in less than six months.

During the last presidential campaign, Alvaro Noboa's mission was consistent with his career path and life. The mission stated the need to fight corruption, reactivate the economy, provide jobs for all Ecuadorians, promote low-income housing for all citizens, establish a national health plan and implement an educational plan. Today, Alvaro Noboa is seen as a political, economic and social leader in Ecuador.

During this last presidential campaign, the second one in his political career, he lost with a small percentage to Coronel Lucio Gutierrez. Again there was talk of fraud in these elections.

Alvaro Noboa has structured his PRIAN Political Party in such a way that today it is the second leading force insofar as votes are concerned among a field of fourteen political parties. The PRIAN Party has become a key political factor in Congress and Alvaro Noboa the front runner in the 2006 Presidential race that could bring Alvaro face-to-face with the fabled Leon Febres Cordero in a memorable showdown between a worn-out part and a promising future.

The man who instituted public service with the use of his own funds has kept his "Medical Brigades" in a ceaseless relief effort since 1998 thus proving sincerity behind social-minded convictions.

In the mid-term elections of 2004 the PRIAN Party got 19 mayors of different cities of Ecuador elected as well as 1 prefect and more than 70 council-members in different provinces. Alvaro Noboa, as leader of the PRIAN Party, campaigned in favor of these elected dignitaries.

Alvaro Noboa always fought on the side of the poor people, his Christian heart, his love for the people kept him since he was a young man, and more so now, working for the poor class of Ecuador with his foundation CRUZADA NUEVA HUMANIDAD and through his political work.

"All foreign companies investing in Ecuador will be exempt from paying income tax provided the labor force is Ecuadorian" was the way Alvaro expressed it in his own distinctive manner therefore solving two of the three most excruciating problems facing this Republic, that is, capital and employment.

Alvaro Noboa's deep-rooted beliefs regarding social justice combined with vast personal wealth have placed him once again as a hands-down favorite to win in 2006. This could be Ecuador's last opportunity to avoid class-warfare but rather enter into an era of "Enlightened Capitalism" through the stern but clear minded convictions of a statesman like Alvaro Noboa.

For a third time Álvaro Noboa ran for president representing the PRIAN political party, registering his candidacy in the supreme electoral tribunal on august 15th of 2006.

With a liberal democratic and social justice platform, openess to foreign investment an ambitious housing plan, which as a whole, would multiply employment with an emphasis on the quality of health and education, Álvaro Noboa won the first electoral round on november of 2006 and turned his party, the PRIAN, into the leading electoral presence in the country. With 27 elected members of congress the PRIAN obtained the right to place the president of congress from among its ranks. Jorge Cevallos, party director at the time, and congressman from Manabí became president of congress.

With the promise of a citizen’s revolution and a fully empowered constituttional assembly, Rafael Correa won the second electoral round. Little time would elapse before constitutional guarantees and the state of law would, be broken in Ecuador.

On january the 5th national congress is installed and Jorge Cevallos is elected as president of this body. Sadly in but two months in office he betrayed the leader of his party, the PRIAN ideals and allowed, in alliance with Correa’s government, the unconstitutional destitution on march 7th of 57 congressmen in opposition, among them 24 from his own party at the hands of 4 members of the supreme electoral tribunal presided by Jorge Acosta. Cevallos also allowed the police to surround congress and block the way for congressmen to reach their seats, and ilegally empowered substitutes who were subsequentlylabeled as the tablecloth congressmen since Teleamazonas (a t.v. channel) found them in the company of galo abril secretary to the minister of government, and in the presence of t.v. cameras were filmed as they ran away hiding under tablecloths from the puembo hotel.

The PRIAN disciplinary tribunal decided to expel Jorge Cevallos from its ranks on sunday the 10th of June of 2007. At a press conference Dr. Vicente Taiano the party director stated that the resolution was based on art. 41 of the PRIAN statute “for having departed from the party line”. On that day those PRIAN congressmen who were reinstated by the constitutional tribunal, whose resolution was disawowed by Cevallos described their ex-party colleague as a government spokesman who was not capable of defending the autonomy of the legislative branch and who was silent before the avalanche of physical aggression and the lynch mob, on government payrolls who assaulted their fellow party members and other congressmen in the opposition which elected him as congressional president.

Treachery was confirmed months later when Quinto Pazmiño advisor to Ricardo Patiño finance minister, disclosed secret recordings, taped by Patiño at the República hotel in Quito where Jorge Cevallos, just as transmited by Teleamazonas and the rest of television media. Was negotiating the carrizal-chone project in exchange for a congressional resolution to approve the referendum’s statute in illegal and unconstitutional terms.

The PRIAN was right; it was opposed to the referendum which was in clear violation of article # 283 of the constitution which demanded president Correa to present it before congress for its approval and denounced Correa’s attempts to end liberty and democracy installing a constitutional assembly similar to that of Chavez.

As time has confirmed, the fully-empowered assembly sponsored by correa to reform the constitution and transform the state juridical framework, has revealed itself as an anti-democratic and dictatorial instrument, which has made a mockery of popular mandate and dedicated itself to impose and introduce XXI century socialism similar to Castro, Chavez communism which seeks to curtail public freedom the rights of ecuadorians and by way of a state-centered regime concentrate power to enforce authoritative government without any accountability, such that, in compliance with the aforementioned objectives the assembly dismissed congress.

In defense of all ecuadorians’ best interests, and primarily those of the poor, who will be the most affected by this socialistic system Álvaro Noboa decided to participate in the assembly putting forth a liberal constitutional and social justice proposal, therefore becoming a national assemblyman
Once again thanks to the support of all ecuadorians who identify with progress and welfare.
His fighting spirit, the love for his country will never be assailed or tarnished. Consequently Álvaro Noboa acting as an assemblyman led the voice of those in opposition protesting constitutional violations on the part of the assembly regarding outright partisan legislative activity such as was evidenced by the so called equal taxation law.

On sunday the 13th of January of 2008 PRIAN governing boards, of all 24 provinces denounced the political persecution of which their leader Álvaro Noboa is a victim.

The government majority in the assembly aproved this partisan tax law to hurt him and the ecuadorian people as a whole with this tax initiative, turning the internal revenue service into a facist secret police. For this reason Mr. Noboa did not render an asset declaration. If he would have, the internal revenue service would have conjured a penal trial. And surely escorted him to jail, since in this country there are no constitutional guarantees or the right to defend one. All this wasclearly manifested by the PRIAN boards clearly showing support and solidarity for their leader.

Discharging their duty, the government majority proceeded to expel Álvaro Noboa from the national constitutional assembly on January 12th of 2008 in a clear demonstration of political persecution in the hopes of eliminating any sign of opposition and move on with full-empowerment procedures without any accountability.
