ECUADOR: Ruling AP selects presidential candidate
Lenín Moreno will run for president for the ruling Alianza País (AP) in general elections on 19 February next year. Moreno, who served as vice-president between 2007 and 2013 before becoming United Nations Special Envoy on Disability and Accessibility, got the nod during a party convention in Quito on 1 October. With opinion surveys suggesting Moreno is the early frontrunner, the AP decided he was the best bet to succeed President Rafael Correa. Incumbent vice-president Jorge Glas will be Moreno’s running mate.
