Former presidential candidate, Alvaro Noboa, questioned the exit poll results published by Rafael Correa’s government the moment the voting ended. “Every fraud stems from bad surveys and the surveys said that he was winning… It’s known that there’s been fraud in Ecuador before and there’s fraud again.”
Nevertheless, he announced he was in favor of not only looking for a majority, but also “working in consensus together with the people of the left, with people of the right and people of the center…”
He recalled that “only three years ago we created a new Constitution and now we want to reform it. Those (issues) could have been easily dealt with on the Assembly level. You don’t take the country forward with a majority, you take it forward with everybody.”
