00:00And to go deep into all the details on this day, we contact once more a special envoy in Quito, Ecuador, Jorge Herstoso.
00:07Hi Jorge, what can you share with us at this hour?
00:16There's a lot of expectations.
00:18There's a lot of expectations because two hours and a half from the closing of the polls went by
00:25and we were expecting from the National Electoral Council more results or a larger trend.
00:34Now we're talking only 24.44% of the votes counted.
00:41And so far it's showing that 46.08% of the votes for Daniel Lavoie and 42.35% for Luisa Gonzalez.
00:54Most definitely no one wants to bet on what is going to be the results at the end of the night.
01:02We have the opportunity to interview the vice presidential candidate of La Revolución Ciudadana.
01:10We're talking about Diego Borja.
01:12There's still a lot of optimism in the campaign of Luisa Gonzalez.
01:18They believe that they're going to end up the night ahead of Lavoie
01:23and they insist that they believe that it's going to be a runoff, which they believe that is a big success for them.
01:32A runoff on April coming mostly based on what they have their own polls.
01:43They believe that given the fact of the uphill battle that they really fought to reach this point,
01:51to force a runoff, they consider that is an important success,
01:59given the fact that they insist that there was the abuse of President Daniel Lavoie in order to reach that point.
02:10We continue to report throughout the night. Thank you.
02:15Thank you, Justoza, for all the information in first hand and for your work throughout this election day.
02:21We stay in Ecuador. We're all successful.
