EspañolA court has rejected a petition to nullify the second round of Ecuador’s presidential elections.

Tweet: Important: The TCE notified the CNE about the “nullification resource” presented by A. Paez Creo/Suma. No proof attached.

The opposition resorted to filing a petition after repeatedly challenging the results of the presidential elections last April 2, in which Lenin Moreno was declared winner with 51.15 percent of the votes and opposition candidate Guillermo Lasso received 48.85. percent.

According to opposition alliance CREO-SUMA, 4,200 ballots had irregularities.

The opposition requested a recount, but the Electoral Council rejected it for lack of legal evidence.

Lasso denounced the Electoral Council’s partial count of ballots, calling it a “show” orchestrated by the ruling party Alliance PAIS.

According to Lasso, the Council only carried out a revision of altered ballots, but the only way to maintain transparency is to count them all again.
