Daniel Noboa has confirmed that he will declare a state of emergency and submit two urgent bills to the National Assembly within three days of taking office, as reported by El Universo.

The president-elect visited the National Assembly to review the handover ceremony scheduled for this Thursday.

 

 

Declaring a State of Emergency

Daniel Noboa, the president-elect, announced that one of his first decisions as the new president is to declare a state of emergency in the country.

He will wait 72 hours before submitting two urgent bills to the National Assembly, addressing tax and energy reforms.

Noboa emphasized that the tax reform aims to generate youth employment, given the high rates of unemployment and underemployment.

The energy reform is intended to prevent the country from experiencing power outages in the future.

 

 

On his first day in office, Noboa will issue three decrees, and after 72 hours, he will send the two urgent bills to the National Assembly.

On Monday, November 27, he will address the nation to discuss the state of the country upon assuming office.

Regarding the transition process, Noboa mentioned challenges in obtaining information from some government departments, but he assured the public that his government’s official lineup would be announced on Sunday during the official photo session.

Noboa stated that he would attend the presidential handover ceremony on Thursday with his cabinet, including the ministers of Economy and National Defense.

He also expressed his intention to review the eight new energy projects signed by the outgoing president, Guillermo Lasso.

 

 

In a message to the country, Noboa emphasized that he comes with his own strength, having gone through a challenging process to establish his political force. He reassured the public of the security measures in place for his protection as the new president.

 

 

Duration of New Term

Daniel Noboa’s presidency, along with Vice President Verónica Abad, will last until May 24, 2025.

Following the cross-death provision enacted by President Guillermo Lasso on May 17, Ecuadorians went to the polls to elect a new president and legislators. As a result, Lasso’s presidential term was interrupted, and his successor, Daniel Noboa, will complete the remaining term until May 24, 2025.

Noboa Azín, from the National Democratic Action (ADN) movement, who defeated the candidate of the Citizens’ Revolution, Luisa González, in the second round of the presidential elections on October 15, will lead Ecuador for approximately 18 months after his inauguration.

The next presidential and legislative elections are expected to be called by the National Electoral Council (CNE) in February 2024 for the February 2025 electoral process. This electoral period, taking at least a year, involves stages such as the call for elections, candidate qualification, campaign period, voting, vote counting, and the proclamation of winners.

Outgoing President Guillermo Lasso has governed for at least 900 days.

With the presidential election, the 137 members of the Legislative Function were also renewed. The legislators were sworn in on November 17 and will hold office until May 14, 2025.
