Answer

Moreno won the presidential election on 2 April 2017, defeating former president Rafael Correa's hand-picked candidate, Cynthia Viteri, by a margin of 51.16% to 48.84%. This marked the first time in Ecuador's history that an incumbent president had been defeated in a re-election bid. Moreno's victory was widely seen as a repudiation of Correa's authoritarian style of governance and his policies, which had become increasingly unpopular in recent years.
