Ecuador General Election : Left-Wing Arauz in the lead.

Left-wing economist Andrés Arauz has won the first round of Ecuador's presidential election with about 32% of the vote - not enough for an outright victory, preliminary results show.
The run-off is scheduled for 11 April.
It is not clear at this point whom Mr Arauz will face in the second round as indigenous leader Yaku Pérez and conservative banker Guillermo Lasso are neck-and-neck.
With about 95% of vote counted, they were drawn with 19.7% each.

Would be great to see Arauz win. I'm sure the neo-liberals will disagree.

Edit: Sorry meant to post this in current events. Will any of the mods please assist.

I was really hoping he would get it without the run off, be a clear feck you to CSIS, and the rest of the "moderate" think tanks.

Yeah welcome to Musk's twitter.

Don't recommend searching 'Ecuador' on there. Some of the top results are close up clips of murder in cold blood.
