ECUADOR: Correa appeals to marginalised majority
The frontrunner in the elections, Rafael Correa, is accusing his main rivals, representing what he dismissed as the "partidocracia", of trying to forge an alliance aimed at forcing the elections into a second round. Correa levelled the charge on 30 September while visiting the indigenous town of Zumbahua, in the southern province of Cotopaxi, where he did some voluntary agricultural work and some teaching in the 1980s. His main rivals also hit the campaign trail in the Andean highlands.
