ECUADOR: Lasso moves into pole position
Just days after Guillermo Lasso managed to squeeze into the second round of Ecuador’s presidential elections by the skin of his teeth he is favourite to succeed President Rafael Correa. Lasso, of the centre-right Movimiento Creo, who finished some 11 percentage points adrift of Lenín Moreno of the ruling left-wing Alianza País (AP) in the elections on 19 February, now enjoys 52.1% of voter intentions to 47.9% for Moreno, according to a survey by the national pollster Cedatos.
