Meanwhile, the National Assembly has authorized President Daniel Noboa to take a temporary leave of absence from his duties to participate in campaign events for candidates from his own political movement, Acci\u00f3n Democr\u00e1tica Nacional (ADN). During his absence, Vice President Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9 Pinto will temporarily assume the presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Against this backdrop, more than 13 million Ecuadorians are called to the polls on November 29. The voting will take place while a state of exception remains in effect across eight provinces, even as opposition groups challenge decisions that they argue limit the participation of certain political organizations and candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
