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.

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.
