Ecuador election ends in a ‘tie’ prompting run-off | BBC News


Ecuador’s presidential election will go to a second round after a closely contested first-round result failed to produce an outright winner.

The electoral authorities called it a "technical tie" after the incumbent centre-right candidate, Daniel Noboa, and his main left-wing challenger Luisa González received nearly identical percentages of the vote.

The pair will now face a run-off in April.

The result is far narrower than opinion polls had predicted, indicating the second round could be harder to call.
