vote, but now, they suspect even more assassinations, and he goes to the second round because luisa gonzalezthecorrea party is ahead with 26% of the vote, so the question on whether they will make it in the runoff or there will be other resignations , the day would be if somebody who is on the line of the policies and become selected, this could lead to serious authoritarian tendencies within ecuador, which could be equally dangerous. also, if the sinaloa cartel and the other cartels mix and work within ecuador, there are a powerful and they could create massive conflict. in el salvador, there were lots of murders. they have grand cartels from mexico working with cartels within ecuador, and that would be tickled. then, obviously, there would have to be a more hard-line approach to prevent rings like the assassination of mr. villavicencio from happening again. at the same time, there is a danger that this could lead to an authoritarian position which was adopted in el salvador, which could be dangerous in ecuador. it remains to be seen whether this is going to change. somebody mentioned, a co

luisa gonzÁlez has clearly been in favor of the no vote and it is the protection of this place becausewas the party that actually allowed oil exportation in yasuni. in her opponent daniel noboa has been in favor of protecting it. interesting also to see how they and the second round of the election will defend the yes vote and no vote because now whichever one wins has two comply with the ecuadorian people voted, which is to protect this place and create a plan for the oil companies exit. i think that is much more interesting because the no vote has been -- there's been a really, really hard campaign from luisa gonzÁlez's side and her party and her team. amy: so you take the opposite position, just to be clear. what parts are able to be exploited by petroleum company? >> unfortunately, within the yasuni national park, beside the one in question in this particular referendum, there are eight oil blocs active. i guess next to them there are 13 or outside of the national park are 13 oil blocs still being exploited. yesterday we got the news that waorani youth usually get their school fees

luisa gonzalez has come out on top, followed by daniel noboa and they will go forward to the next round firstly, security. as ou've them? firstly, security. as you've been _ them? firstly, security. as you've been reporting - them? firstly, security. as you've been reporting on, | them? firstly, security. as| you've been reporting on, it them? firstly, security. as. you've been reporting on, it is well—known that one of the presidential candidates villavicencio was assassinated a few weeks ago. the mayor of a town was assassinated. security and murder really are at the top of the agenda for most ecuadorians and that's going to impinge on investment and ability of economic growth. what's curious is you have in this vote a referendum and the results are quite in yet and it was on whether or not ecuador can exploit the oil resources in the elissonde. it looks like it may well pass ——in the amazon. they could not exploit any more. oil is one of the export revenues for ecuador so it's going to be a challenge if it's going to be a challenge if it passes. by the same token, from the early 2000

half the ballots have been counted in ecuador�*s presidential election, and left—wing candidate luisa gonzalezsia gonzalez won just over 33% of the vote and goes through to the second round in pole position. she will face businessman daniel noboa azin in that second round in october. security has taken centre stage throughout the election campaign after the murder of anti—corru ption candidate fernando villavicencio, who was gunned down while leaving a campaign event this month. we are keeping across what is happening in ecuador at the moment with our correspondent katy watson. when you need dozens of soldiers and a bullet—proof curtain to be able to vote, you realise democracy�*s in danger. "i voted with courage", says this candidate, running in place of fernando villavicencio, the politician shot dead earlier this month. ecuadorians are still reeling from the attack on mr villavicencio, a journalist turned politician who was outspoken on corruption and organised crime, murdered as he left a campaign event. ecuador was once a peaceful country. but in the past few years, colombian and mexican

luisa gonzalez is a left-wing candidate. i think the second round of the election will be held on october 15 . that together and therefore this confrontation will be very, very sensitive in the coming days for the country, in fact, ecuador , ecuador, as you said, there was a lot of election violence. the election was about chamkhale's face in the election, which unfortunately had a lot of effect on ms. golzar winning the election as the first driver, but now things happened, including the arabs who killed the torture of the guard of the second round of the election. most of the leftists dream of returning to power and taking power from the hands of mr. president, which is very, very close to the elections in ecuador . i think that during the period of the leftists, tukar ador had close relations with their father. we had international organizations and gatherings to the north of america and i thank you for your presence to narrow the stage of the big anus of the islamic republic in the region with the victory of mrs. golzade

it's been there too, madam luisa gonzalez, chatgram's candidate , i think the second round of the election will be held on october 15. the country is actually ecuador and ecuador, as you said, there was a lot of election violence, one of the main singers was assassinated, which of course , according to mr. karam intro, sought to distort his face in the elections, to make chamkhale's face special in the elections, which unfortunately had an impact. ms. golzar's face won the election in the first driver, but some incidents happened , including the arabs in the parties protecting the elections, who have drawn the second round. in my opinion, the second round of the election is the second round of the election, and the left needs more effort to return to power and take power in the hands of mr. president, who are very, very elections. i think it will be close to each other in the period when the leftists of adore have strong close relations with their fathers . we had a very good relationship with ecuador. international organizations and assemblies are looking towards the north of america, and
