Ecuador votes for a new president after years of violence and blackouts

Ecuadorian voters are set to elect a new president amid a security crisis, marking the second election in 18 months due to prior instability and violence in the country.

Noboa has adopted a hardline stance against crime, declaring states of emergency and increasing military cooperation with the US, while González seeks to revive policies from former President Rafael Correa.
